is included.

Summary : An image loading and rendering library
for X11R6.
Description :
Imlib is a display depth independent image loading and
rendering
library. Imlib is designed to simplify and speed up the
process of
loading images and obtaining X Window System drawables.
Imlib
provides many simple manipulation routines which can be
used for
common operations.

The imlib package also contains the imlib_config
program, which
you can use to configure the Imlib image loading and
rendering
library. Imlib_config can be used to control how Imlib
uses color and
handles gamma corrections, etc.

Install imlib if you need an image loading and
rendering library for
X11R6, or if you are installing GNOME.

Heh? Who says that imlib-config is installed? AFAICS the
package description is:

> Imlib is an advanced replacement library for libraries
like libXpm that provides many more features with much
greater flexability and speed.

So... wtf?

What you need is imlib-devel:

The header files, static libraries and documentation needed for
developing Imlib applications. Imlib is an image loading and
rendering library for X11R6.

Install the imlib-devel package if you want to develop Imlib
applications. You will also need to install the imlib and
imlib_cfgeditor packages.

Heh, he confused "imlib_config" with "imlib-config". ;-)

Resolution: Invalid.

I had the same problem with Fedora Core 5. It looks like a
bug in the configure script but I didn't investigate enough
to find it, there is a /usr/bin/imlib_config file. What did
work for me was this;

./configure --without-imlib

capstan, please pay some attention before claiming to have
found "bugs" :(

"imlib-config" is needed, NOT "imlib_config"!

For your reference:

- "imlib_config":
"Imlib configuration editor"
* provided by: imlib

- "imlib-config":
"Display Imlib and GDK-Imlib Library Configuration"
* provided by "imlib-devel"

Sorry, I didn't notice there were followups below the "add
comment" box, heh. However I do suggest that you document
the "imlib-config provided by imlib-devel" statement in your
INSTALL file. Vanilla FC5 installations don't have
imlib-devel and its not obvious that it would need to be
obtained for icewm.

1. Requirements

- libxpm (comes with XFree86, but is
commercial X servers -- like XSun)
OR
- Imlib (for wider image support) <<< put it here?

"INSTALL" describes only generic requirements and general
approach for installing IceWM.

It doesn't handle any GNU/Linux distribution "way of doing
things", and IMHO that's the way it should stay.

OTOH, I would second you on documentation RFE, in this case
an "INSTALL.fedora" file. Who will write it? :))

Anyway, on the same other hand, folks could always use a
prepackaged IceWM RPM. ;-)
