[NBLUG/talk] Enlightenment on Redhat 9

[Daniel Kinon]

Hey Guys,
	I've been trying for the last couple of days to install the
enlightenment window manager rpm on my Redhat 9 box.  What I thought was
progress turned out to be a dead end, is there any help you can offer? 
Anyone who has actually tried this maybe?

According to documentation at
http://www.enlightenment.org/pages/download.html

Enlightenment 0.16.5-1 requires IMLIB v1.9.14
	IMLIB in turn requires certain versions of graphic processing packages,
GTK+ and Glib.  I checked using 'rpm -qa' for all of these prerequisites
and it showed that I had atleast the required version if not better. 
The only descrepency that my rpm query pulled up was my version of IMLIB
which is 1.9.13-12.  I checked with Ximian Red-Carpet but it doesn't
look like a newer version of IMLIB is available.
	I then went searching for an rpm on the internet but as of yet have
been able to find no rpms, just tarballs.  At this point I just gave up,
downloaded a tarball and compiled and installed it.  This seemed to
appease the rpm install.

	The next requirement was FNLIB 0.5 which doesn't seem to be available
in rpm form so I downloaded the tarball and installed that.  However,
after doing so, the enlightenment rpm still complained about not being
able to find FNLIB.  The only other requirement is FreeType 1.3.1 which
I have, so that souldn't be a problem.  But after all this I don't know
what to do.  Any ideas?

-Sorry for the lengthy explanation but I figured the whole story would
answer alot of easily answered questions.
