feh is a fast, lightweight image viewer which uses Imlib2. It is commandline-driven and supports multiple images through slideshows, thumbnail browsing or multiple windows, and montages or index prints (using TrueType fonts to display file info). Advanced features include fast dynamic zooming, progressive loading, loading via HTTP (with reload support for watching webcams), recursive file opening (slideshow of a directory hierarchy), and mouse wheel/keyboard control.
This package is known to build and work properly using an LFS-7.9 platform.
For some reason, using a browser, the link will not download the package as a tarball, but instead, as a page. Therefore, you will need to use “Save link as” or the wget or another similar command, in the command line.

User Notes: http://wiki.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/wiki/feh
Due to well-known problems when feh try to load gif images (sometimes imlib2 being blamed for that), some tests fail. To avoid that, apply the following patch, if you intend to run the test suite:
patch -Np1 -i ../feh-2.14.1-disable_some_tests-1.patch
Install feh by running the following commands:
sed -i "s:doc/feh:&-2.14.1:" config.mk && make PREFIX=/usr
To test the results, issue: make test.
Now, as the root
user:
make PREFIX=/usr install
sed -i "s:doc/feh:&-2.14.1:" config.mk: This sed fixes the doc directory to a versioned one, as used in BLFS.
