Jono's point is well taken: if you try ./configure --help, it should give
you a big list of options you can pass to configure to tell it where stuff
is. Looking at the configure script, I suspect that one of the options you
will get will be "--with-imlib-config", which defines where the file
"imlib-config" lives.

On a more important point, I am surprised that your distribution (are you
a RedHat person? I forget) doesn't provide imlib for you, rather than you
installing it yourself in /usr/local. If you're a Debian (or Knoppix, or
similar) user, then try "apt-get install libimlib1-dev". If you're a
RedHat/SuSE user, hopefully someone else on the list will explain how to
get and install your distribution's version of this library.
