Cant compile SDL programs, SDL version 1.2.0 not found

SDL Development
1

I did the standard ./configure , make , make install to install it and it
worked fine, no errors. I also did a ldconfig, to ensure that the libs were
added to the cache.

I then went to compile the test programs in /usr/src/lib/SDL-1.2.2/test
did a ./configure which gave me the following error

checking for IceConnectionNumber in -lICE… yes
checking for sdl-config… /usr/local/bin/sdl-config
checking for SDL - version >= 1.2.0… no
*** Could not run SDL test program, checking why…
*** The test program failed to compile or link. See the file config.log for
the
*** exact error that occured. This usually means SDL was incorrectly
installed
*** or that you have moved SDL since it was installed. In the latter case,
you
*** may want to edit the sdl-config script: /usr/local/bin/sdl-config
configure: error: *** SDL version 1.2.0 not found!

I then read through most all the documentation I could find with no luck. As
the FAQ requested here is the output of…

bash-2.05# which sdl-config
/usr/local/bin/sdl-config

bash-2.05# sdl-config --version

Did you have the line /usr/local/lib added on your /etc/ld.so.conf?, if
not, add it and run ldconfig again. It should solve the problem.

This seems familiar… heh

I did the standard ./configure , make , make install to install it and
it worked fine, no errors. I also did a ldconfig, to ensure that the
libs were added to the cache.

I then went to compile the test programs in /usr/src/lib/SDL-1.2.2/test
did a ./configure which gave me the following error

Did you install SDL and/or the test programs as root?

checking for IceConnectionNumber in -lICE… yes
checking for sdl-config… /usr/local/bin/sdl-config
checking for SDL - version >= 1.2.0… no
*** Could not run SDL test program, checking why…
*** The test program failed to compile or link. See the file config.log
^^^^^^^^^^
Examine this file. I’m suspecting that it contains something along the
lines “ld couldn’t find libX11.so.6…” etc. (Or possibly some other
"can’t find XXX" errors - probably the same cause.)

If so, check the permissions of ld.so.conf - if it’s not readable for
ordinary users, you’ll have to be root to link with anything that isn’t
in the library paths built into ld. (The higher security settings on
Mandrake seem to do that kind of stuff.)

If that’s it, you’ll have to change the system security settings, or
manually change the permissions for the files needed to link SDL
applications. (You’ll have to live with the risk of other users reading
your system’s ld.so.conf, I guess. :wink:

ld can’t find libartsc.so.0 for some reason. It might be the lib itself
that isn’t readable for ordinary users, or some directory in the path.
(BTW, is libartsc.so.0 really in any of the dirs in your ld.so.conf?)

thanks for the tip, I found that lib at /opt/kde/lib, so I added that dir
to ld.so.conf and it worked :)>From: David Olofson <david.olofson at reologica.se>
