Hey Kyle,
	Thanks for your quick response.  Imade a mistake in my first e-mail I
think.  I said that installing the IMLIB tarball worked, well it
evidently didn't.  I installed that FNLIB rpm and it worked great, no
errors for FNLIB but now I'm getting this error:

[root at quantum enlightenment]# rpm -ivh enlightenment-0.16.5-1.i386.rpm
error: Failed dependencies:
        libImlib.so.1 is needed by enlightenment-0.16.5-1

Any ideas on how to fix this one?  I noticed that the site you gave me
only has IMLIB2 on it, no of any IMLIB 1.9.14 rpms?
thanks,
-Dan
