You should probably use imlib-SNAP-980622...

... and you should compile it here to get gdk_imlib too.

You also need (and maybe already have) libgif-3 or libungif-3 and libz-1.1.2.

It has been down temporarily for some weeks now ude to "unprecedented

>From anon-cvs this is done with some cvs module checkout magic.  To use the
ftp.jimpick.com sources, you need to do these insertions by hand:

Copy, or clone some or all of support, intl and macro directories from the
gnome-common tarball into each of the snapshot toplevels before you compile.

I use the attached script like this:
  $ ftpget ftp.jimpick.com pub/gnome/snap/gnome-common/gnome-common-SNAP-blah
  $ tar zxpf gnome-common-SNAP-blah
  $ ftpget ftp.jimpick.com pub/gnome/snap/gnome-libs/gnome-libs-SNAP-blah
  $ tar zxpf gnome-libs-SNAP-blah
  $ cd gnome-libs
  $ find ../gnome-common -type d -print | xargs ../clone
  $ ./configure && make
  
Cheers,
	Gary.
