imlib begining (copiling misc libraries)

[Alexander Kotelnikov <sacha AK2614 spb edu>]

Hi,
As soon as imlib have not it's own mailing list (is it true?) and it is
used by many gtk/gdk programmers, I post this question here.
The problem is -- what libraries to install (compile) before imlib.
at http://www.labs,redhat.com/imlib/ I've got the following answer:

ftp://ftp.gnome.org/pub/imlib/TAR/giflib-3.0-2.tar.gz
ftp://ftp.gnome.org/pub/imlib/TAR/libungif-3.0.tar.gz
ftp://ftp.gnome.org/pub/imlib/TAR/libgr-2.0.13.tar.gz
ftp://ftp.gnome.org/pub/imlib/TAR/libgr-scripts.tar.gz
ftp://ftp.gnome.org/pub/imlib/TAR/libpng-1.0.1.tar.gz
ftp://ftp.gnome.org/pub/imlib/TAR/zlib-1.1.2.tar.gz
ftp://ftp.gnome.org/pub/imlib/TAR/tiff-v3.4-tar.gz
ftp://ftp.gnome.org/pub/imlib/TAR/jpegsrc.v6b.tar.gz
ftp://ftp.gnome.org/pub/imlib/TAR/gtk+-1.1.12.tar.gz
ftp://ftp.gnome.org/pub/imlib/TAR/glib-1.1.3.tar.gz
ftp://ftp.gnome.org/pub/imlib/TAR/ImageMagick-4.0.5.tar.gz

and note that I can use either libungif alone or with libgif.

I've got all tar's and in libgr-2.0.13.tar.gz i've found

jpeg-6a (-- older than jpegsrc.v6b.tar.gz)
png-0.89 (-- older than libpng-1.0.1.tar.gz)
zlib-1.02 (-- older than zlib-1.1.2.tar.gz)
tiff-3.4beta18 (-- possibly the same tiff-v3.4-tar.gz)

and Raster wrote : 'Please do NOT have old versions of these libraries
floating around'

So -- what libraries i really need to install to make imlib 'to have
native access to JPEG, PNG, TIFF and GIF image formats'

AND what is 'native' here, if these libs won't be install, what kind of
access will imlib have to these image formats.

thanx,
