Re: Finally!!!

If the package is not set up correctly, gettext will cause problems on
systems where gettext is not part of the C library (I think most
non-linux systems and libc5 linux systems fall into this category).  This
is usually due to the progname_LDADD variable in the Makefile.am missing
$(INTLLIBS) at the end.

As for the black backgrounds problem, this is to do with the output of the
file command being different on slackware when compared to every other
linux distribution I know of for ELF executables.  I am not sure whether
libtool has been fixed in the latest snapshots to recognise slackware
systems correctly.  You may be able to fix the problem by editing the
libtool script of imlib after configuring the package, and finding the
line that sets the check_shared_deplibs_method variable, and changing its
value to pass_all.
