The imlib package contains image libraries. These are useful for loading, rendering and dithering a wide variety of image data formats.

imlib depends on: 
xfree86-4.3.0, libjpeg-6b, libtiff-3.5.7,
libungif-4.1.0b1, libpng-1.2.5 and GTK+-1.2.10

Installation of imlib

Install imlib by running the following commands:

CPPFLAGS=-w ./configure --prefix=/usr --sysconfdir=/etc/imlib &&
make &&
make install

Command explanations

CPPFLAGS=-w : This disables gcc-3.2.1 warnings that confuse configure.

--sysconfdir=/etc/imlib : This installs and combines the configurations files into /etc instead of /usr/etc.

Configuring imlib

Configuration Information

As with most libraries, there is no configuration to do, save that the library directory i.e. /usr/lib or /usr/local/lib should appear in /etc/ld.so.conf so that ldd can find the shared libraries. After checking that this is the case, /sbin/ldconfig should be run while logged in as root.
