I recently downloaded the source for imlib 1.9.8. I am using RH6.1 PCQ
distro.
The reason I tried installing Imlib1.9.8 was due to a snag I had while
trying to configure Wine ( the latest one). Whenever I tried to do a
./configure Wine from Src I got a message "no . or .. found", I did a
RTFM and checked all the prerequites for installing WINE, and found
that I Didn't have libxpm, so I did a search for the same at
freshmeat, and it took me to imlib (imlib is a replacement to libxpm,
that's what the desc said) A check revealed that the imlib on my
machine was older then 1.9.8 so I downloaded the src and compiled it.

But before compiling I uninstalled the previous ver of imlib thru
GnomeRPM. I ignored all dependency warnings as I had a new (probably
better) version of imlib.
But after "make install", now I am unable to start Gnome.. it says
libgdk_imlib.so not found. I located the file & copied it all dirs
that had any *imlib* files. Now I get the hash screen that comes after
startx and X hangs (earlier it used to get killed).

can anyone tell me what could be the problem? Is coz that all src are
put under /usr/local ( I even tried using --prefix option of
configure.

Secondly Do I need to have libxpm ( & not imlib) to configure wine?

BTW: Kde is working perfectly fine for a non root acct. My root acct
uses Gnome and is not working. How do I start kde on startx, i.e.
without the desktop switching tool??
