Try...

yum clean all 
# Optionally: rm -rf /var/cache/yum/* to really, squeaky "clean"
yum update
yum groupinstall "GNOME Desktop Environment"

*You* shouldn't need to show yum anything. RPM handles all that 
dependency/providing stuff.

Comparing the Redhat package..
[root at stpftp ~]# rpm -q --provides --nosignature -p imlib-1.9.13-23.x86_64.rpm 
config(imlib) = 1:1.9.13-23
libImlib.so.11()(64bit)  
libgdk_imlib.so.1()(64bit)  
libimlib-bmp.so()(64bit)  
libimlib-gif.so()(64bit)  
libimlib-jpeg.so()(64bit)  
libimlib-png.so()(64bit)  
libimlib-ppm.so()(64bit)  
libimlib-ps.so()(64bit)  
libimlib-tiff.so()(64bit)  
libimlib-xpm.so()(64bit)  
imlib = 1:1.9.13-23

.. to the Whitebox...
[root at stpftp ~]# rpm -q --nosignature --provides -p /home/stpftp/public/TECHservices/tmp/imlib-1.9.13-23.x86_64.rpm 
config(imlib) = 1:1.9.13-23
libImlib.so.11()(64bit)  
libgdk_imlib.so.1()(64bit)  
libimlib-bmp.so()(64bit)  
libimlib-gif.so()(64bit)  
libimlib-jpeg.so()(64bit)  
libimlib-png.so()(64bit)  
libimlib-ppm.so()(64bit)  
libimlib-ps.so()(64bit)  
libimlib-tiff.so()(64bit)  
libimlib-xpm.so()(64bit)  
imlib = 1:1.9.13-23

... looks perfect, so updating/installing to your machine *should* 
be fine.
