Problem compiling Eterm / imlib2 / freetype

Hello,
I was trying to find a terminal not only capable of supporting
transparency, but also capable of tinting (or shading, if you will) the
transparent background. rxvt does not seem to handle this. I found
Eterm to be a feasible solution. Problem is that to compile Eterm, I
need imlib2, which, in turn, requires libttf.so - a dynamically linked
freetype 1.2 library.
I followed ths instructions for building a .so for freetype, but imlib2
does not seem to like it (dies during the configure script, saying that
the library cannot be found).
Is there an old libftt.so that I can download? Any suggestions for
compiling freetype / imlib2? Are there any alternatives to using
Eterm?
Thanks, in advance,
Paul Grinberg.
