Sam,
There’s a nasty gotcha lurking in the “make install” in SDL 0.8.11.
If you don’t have any files in SDL-0.8.11/lib when you run the command,
it’ll remove all of the files (but not the directories) in /usr/local/lib
for you. doh
Isn’t that special?
How did I find out? Well… uhm… yeah!
(Fortunately, the only files in that directory were the Allegro libs
and the SDL libs…
Regards,
