./configure file

SDL Development
1

I am running YellowDogLinux on a B/W G4.
I installed SDL-1.2.1. Do I need to use the older ver. I would prefer not to.

When running ./configure on SDL_mixer-1.2.1 I get error msg as follows:
checking for sdl-config… no
checking for SDL - version >= 1.2.0… no
*** The sdl-config script installed by SDL could not be found
*** If SDL was installed in PREFIX, make sure PREFIX/bin is in
*** your path, or set the SDL_CONFIG environment variable to the
*** full path to sdl-config
configure: error: *** SDL version 1.2.0 not found

I followed the advice in the sdl FAQ for this problem, then ran the commands
specified, two worked:

#locate libSDL:
/usr/lib/libSDL-1.2.so.0
/usr/lib/libSDL-1.2.so.0.0.3
/usr/lib/libSDL-1.1.so.0

Have you made sure that either sdl-config is within your
current $PATH or, if not, that you passed the proper
–with-sdl-prefix=/sdl/is/installed/here argument to
./configure? /sdl/is/installed/here means that he tries to
find /sdl/is/installed/here/bin/sdl-config .

Do you have the SDL-devel RPM installed as well?
