there is a file missing from the package - maybe more than one ***imlib2-config***

It is required for the build of the perl package Images::Imlib2

It's the same files in the package as Arch upstream. I have no idea how this works with regards to that perl module but the diff in question is just a version update.

Ok, after digging a little deeper into the imlib2 source it turns out that the loaders are always looked up as shared objects. I thought the loaders are also compiled into the static lib, but I was wrong.

Either I can set the directory by specifying IMLIB2_LOADER_PATH or by putting them into the default loader path which is /usr/local/lib/imlib2/loaders in the self compiled version.

Hello,

imlib2-config was removed in imlib2 version 1.7.5 from 2021. imlib2 is
now at version 1.12.4. Please use pkg-config instead.

The "can't find loaders" problem you see may happen if the perl module
dlopens libImlib2.so with RTLD_LOCAL instead of RTLD_GLOBAL.
A change was introduced in imlib2 version 1.12.4 that requires
libImlib2.so to be loaded with RTLD_GLOBAL.
