If you can't find an imlib1 rpm, and you have installed the imlib tarball
so the libraries do in fact exist, just do an 
rpm -ivh --nodeps enlightenment-0.16.5-1.i386.rpm
which will ignore the fact you don't have the imlib rpm installed.  Of
course, make sure that you do have some sort of libImlib.so.1 file, as
enlightenment will be looking for it.
