Looks to me like maybe imlib-devel and imlib-cfgeditor are already
installed, and they depend on imblib 1.9.7 which is also installed, and
they don't like the idea of you upgrading to 1.9.8

That's just my guess however. I don't know enough about RedHat to be
absolutely certain this is the case (but I don't see any other reason for
the error messages)

Debian of course would have allowed you to just type
"apt-get install imlib" and it would have worked out what other files it
depended on, or depended on it, and downloaded and installed it all for
you.

Also, could you please change the Subject line of your email if you are
