Welcome:-)

How are you trying to install GNOME?  I will guess you are using RPMs, but
it's not clear from your mail.

AFAIK, the package imlib-cfgeditor is depreciated, that is, you don't need
it anymore (and it won't work right with newer imlibs).  You can get rid
of it with:
  $ rpm -e imlib-cfgeditor

Also, if you are managing imlib with RPMs, you need to be clear on how you
do it.  The library package should be installed with:
  $ rpm -ivh imlib-<whatever>

That will keep the old version of imlib on your system, and add the new
one.

Using
  $ rpm -q imlib
will list all the versions of imlib that RPM knows about.  If you think
that there are still more, do:
  $ locate libImlib

Note that many of the copies locate will list are merely symbolic links to
other copies.

Make sure you have one and only one copy of "libImlib.so"

I hope I've been of some help.  If I can be of more help, please send more
detail about your problems.
