You could fix it by hand with a sym link, but I don't think you should unless 
you can find a libImlib.so.1.x.x file.  Try "locate libImlib.so.1" and see 
what you get.  On my system, I get:

/home/local/lib/libImlib.so.1
/home/local/lib/libImlib.so.1.9.8

and the .1 file is a sym-link to the .1.9.8 file.  So if you can find the full 
version file, you can create a sym-link to it, then run "ldconfig" (as root).

If not, I sugest re-installing the Enlightenment rpm off the CD.  You can make 
sure it has what you need by doing:

rpm -qlp enlightenment_whatever.rpm | grep libImlib

to make sure the file you need is in there.
