[snip story]
| So, here I am with a vanilla RH5 box. I've installed libtiff,
| libpng, libjpeg, libz, libgif and imlib 1.3 from RPM's. Enlightenment
| wouldn't compile until I did the Makefile fix and added the -lImlib etc
| by hand (btw - imlib installed itself but couldn't find itself until I
| linked libImlib.so to libImlib.so.1.3.0 by hand). Now, it compiles, but
| segfaults with a "Th-Th-Th-Th-Tha-That's Me Going (*insert obscene sound
| here*) Folks!".

| Any ideas on this one? I haven't heard of a generic fix, but then
| again, for the amount of time I've had to IRC lately, that's not saying
| much. I dislike Redhat thoroughly.
I'd check to make sure that ./configure found everything when Imlib got
compiled. There's probably an error in there somewhere. Either that or a set
of libs on /usr/local and yet another on /usr, or somesuch nonsense.
There's a bit of trouble at first when you switch to ANY new system when you
"leave" the one that worked for you because of the assumptions *you* make.
That isn't to say the rpm system is the golden bough either, but see what flubs
where and work with it; just be sure you're improving and not rubbing and life
will be easier. I can't stress this (or myself, earlier on) enough.
Don't _ever_ try swapping binaries, especially ones dealing with libraries,
around. Really messy stuff. Either turn into an rpm boy, or compile by hand.
Or both, in some circumstances. (Right now I'm stuck with a base RH myself;
but I'm slowly learning where my rough corners are. Was a participating member
of the Church of the Subgenius before that, though. Slack!)
I would bet my right hand on it being a dependency problem, but your overall
stability might be improved with a newer X(free) server too.
