I really don't advise that..
You shouldn't need to hack C files. The configure script should do it all
for you. If you change something like that by hand, you risk not realising
about other things which might also need to stay 'in sync'.
Libraries generally go into /usr/lib if you rpm them in or dpkg them in, and
/usr/local/lib if you install them by hand. This is fine - and useful, it
enables you to see what you've done yourself.
I recommend, as I have before, that you get rpms for every lib you can
(you're RH, right?) and, for this libs where you did find rpms, delete them
from /usr/local.
Then, rerun ldconfig (shouldn't be necessary, but does no harm) and rebuild
imlib from scratch. All should then be well.
If you're having to hack around imlib's header files, then you probably have
a fundamental problem lying around somewhere (is /usr/local/lib in you
/etc/ld.conf?)
