Hi George, 

The "Required package" error refers to whether the mentioned package
has been installed already. It seems that imlib and gtk had not been
installed before you tried to build eterm. When you typed "make" to build 
eterm, the imlib and gtk+ would have been built and installed for you.

/usr/pkgsrc/distfiles is a store for source code. You have to build
and install the packages before they are registered as being installed
in the pkg system. 

best wishes,
