This is a known issue.  In the past, most people have either built and
installed an older version first, then built and installed the 1.0.6
version, or they've found a package for the older version and then
built the newer one.

The problem is this:  The parts of that tarball which require linking
with Imlib2 used -lImlib2 instead of pointing to the src/ directory
for it.  I just committed a fix to CVS which should alleviate this
problem, so hopefully it will go away with the next version.
(Assuming no Debian people come along and break stuff again....)  :)
