Great! Another Slackware user!

Where are you getting freetype1 from, and why are you installing it?

Perhaps you were following some older instructions for enlightenment, saying it needed freetype1, fnlib, imlib1? The newer versions no longer require freetype1 and fnlib, and use imlib2 instead of imlib1. My suggestion would be to download imlib2 and enlightenment-0.16.7pre6 from http://sourceforge.net/projects/enlightenment/ I have been using the 16.7preX for months and it is just as stable as 16.6 but with some bugfixes and improvements. If you have any problems with these, I'd be happy to send you unofficial packages.
