Yesterday I installed Red Hat 8.0 personal on my old computer... Everything's been fine, I'm using KDE now. I tried to install Eterm, installing imlib2-1.0.5-2.i386.rpm, libast-0.5-1.i386.rpm, and Eterm-0.9.2-1.i386.rpm. rpm -q tells me they are installed. But when I try to start Eterm, I get a bunch of errors like:

Error: Unable to load image file "tile/blue_marble.jpg" -- No loader available for that file format

Eterm does start after those, I'm just wondering what I did wrong. I thought the image loaders were in imlib2 package. Is there yet another package I need to install?

I don't use eterm so I can't tell you exactly what to do. However you could try running 'ldd /usr/bin/eterm' This will tell you what libraies eterm needs. Checking if you have all these installed is a start.

I tried what you suggested but the directory didn't exist! So I removed and re-installed Eterm, imlib2 and libast. However when installing imlib2 with rpm -ivh, the progress bar only got to 50% and then the installation stopped. Is this the problem? Why doesn't it install fully?
