Compiling on Irix

I am having some trouble getting SDL compiled and installed under Irix
6.54. It appears to be compiling the files ok, but having trouble when
it links. the error that it throws is this

make[2]: Entering directory /tmp/SDL-1.1.3/src' /bin/sh ../libtool --mode=link gcc -g -O2 -fexpensive-optimizations -fomit-frame-pointer -DENABLE_X11 -DHAVE_OPENGL -D_SGI_MP_SOURCE -DSDL_USE_PTHREADS -I../include -I../include/SDL -I../src -I../src/irix -I../src/main -I../src/audio -I../src/video -I../src/events -I../src/joystick -I../src/cdrom -I../src/thread -I../src/timer -I../src/endian -I../src/file -o libSDL.la -rpath =/usr/home/student/BEBASCO/mwes4/lib -release 1.1 -version-info 3:0:3 SDL.lo SDL_error.lo SDL_fatal.lo main/libarch.la audio/libaudio.la video/libvideo.la events/libevents.la joystick/libjoystick.la cdrom/libcdrom.la thread/libthread.la timer/libtimer.la endian/libendian.la file/libfile.la -lX11 -lXext -ldl -laudio libtool: link: only absolute run-paths are allowed make[2]: *** [libSDL.la] Error 1 make[2]: Leaving directory/tmp/SDL-1.1.3/src’

configured with ./configure --prefix /usr/home/student/BEBASCO/mwes4

if anyone knows how to fix this any help would be appreciated. Please
note that I only have student access, although our uni does have a nice
sysadmin.

alternativly, if anyone has some development binaries for Irix, those
would be just as appreciated ( I noticed none are on the download page)

Thanks in advance

Not sure if it would make a different or not, but when I configure’d it I
used:-
configure --prefix=/disk1/home/blurb/blurb/mydir

I’m not sure if the ‘=’ is crucial or not…

Otherwise, I can email the version I’ve compiled. However I’m haveing
trouble with it crashing as soon as I run any SDL function. I’m not sure
if this is my compile or whether it’s my machine… Perhaps it would be
good if you gave the version I compiled a bash, to try and find the
problem, what do you say?
