Installing SDL on mandrake 9.0

SDL Development
1

Hey,
I am new to SDL, I just came across it while i was
reading the book programming linux games. I am
interested in trying out the examples in the book. In
order to do that i need to install SDL. I have been
trying for awhile to install into but haven’t been
successful, so i was hoping some might help me. I am
currently using Mandrake 9.0 everytime i try to
install i get a lot of conflicts. I was wondering if
anybody else has been able to install in on a mandrake
machine. Also i would be really grateful if you could
send me the list of rpms that you used. Thanks in
advance for all the help.__________________________________________________

Assuming you have the CDs for Mandrake 9
look for libSDL* in the RPM directory of the install disk
’ls /mnt/cdrom/Mandrake/RPMS/libSDL*’

you should find:

libSDL1.2-1.2.4-11mdk.i586.rpm libSDL_mixer1.2-1.2.4-5mdk.i586.rpm
libSDL1.2-devel-1.2.4-11mdk.i586.rpm libSDL_ttf2.0-2.0.5-3mdk.i586.rpm
libSDL_image1.2-1.2.2-3mdk.i586.rpm

to install these files, do the following:
rpm -Uvh /mnt/cdrom/Mandrake/RPMS/libSDL1.2-1.2.4-11mdk.i586.rpm

if you want to develop software then you MUST install the devel packages
libSDL1.2-devel-1.2.4.11mdk.i586.rpm
