I’m new to Linux. I can’t get SDL to install right.
I’m running Redhat 7 and everything seems to go OK until I try and run an #
sh configure to start installing something which requires SDL. It get so far
and then fails on checking for sdl-config and SDL itself. I don’t know how
to set the path and can’t find the sdl-config file anywhere (apart from in a
tar.gz version I downloaded).
How do I get configure to find SDL? I’ve done the following things so far
and I always uninstall with rpm -e etc before retrying:
Install with rpm through Gnome.
Install with rpm through terminal (rpm -ivh filename)
Checked for SDL with rpm -v SDL and get SDL v1.2.0 returned.
Extracted tarball version and done sh configure followed by make in the SDL
directory.
Installed SDL dependant modules OK after installing SDL.
When I View Info on the rpm file through gnome it tells me the package is
not installed.
Please can someone help me as I have searched through FAQ’s and NHF’s for
hours for rpm or sdl instruction but so far as I can tell I am doing nothing
wrong.
