I have all the dependancies installed, but when I try to install enlightenment I get a message indicating that libImlib.so.1 is needed. I have /usr/lib/libImlib.so.11 and I also made a symlink libImlib.so.1 -> /usr/lib/libImlib.so.11.

I am having similar dependancy problems with other RPM installations where the needed file is present but the RPM installer cannot see it. When I try to install the required RPM, of course I get the message indicating that the file is already installed. Seems like the RPM DB is out of synch...


Any help is appreciated.

not 100% sure this will work
but it won't hurt either way

su to root and type

/sbin/ldconfig

then try installing again

i had some libIMlib problems trying to install 3dfile, apparently it's part of gnome, i symlinked the header file and edited the Makefile to point to it but still it would not compile.
i didn't try anything else because i don't use file managers anyway, i was just bored.

I believe this tends to be caused by manually installing (aka not via RPM) the libraries in question. Although I don't know how to fix that, if you have the dependencies then you should be able to just force the install... something like:

rpm -i --force enlightenment.rpm

(too bad you can't force erasures if something depends on said package...)
