I just recompiled imlib2, after fixing some bugs which used to be 
warnings (something about labels after block statements) .It compiled 
fine but I till got the error.
Then I re installed an older imlib from packages, and it worked... Go 
figure!

Yes, good idea too... Error 4! How descriptive...

Whoa, you got my knees knocking with this suggestion. Much as I'd love 
to (I mean it!), I haven't the time to get into alpha stuff. I just need 
it to work for now. When I finish my studies I'd be glad to help out by 
debugging alpha versions.

Bottom line: Thanks for your speedy reply. You hit the nail on the head 
at first pop. My stuff is working now, and I know where to look if it 
happens again.

Regards,
Dennis.
