I suppose these are more general than just SDL, but since SDL is the
first library I tried to use I might as well ask here. I’m trying to get
my head around how OS X is setup and it isn’t working to well. 
OS X has a /usr/lib and /usr/include directory but the SDL packages
didn’t install there, are those directories just for system libs or
something? I thinking that is the case since the developer libs all went
into other directories.
Also when I installed the .pkg files for SDL-Devel I had to install it a
second time to get Project Builder to be able to see SDL.h, gcc still
doesn’t seem to see it. SDL_Image-devel was installed twice and neither
could see it’s header file, I had to move it manually to the same
location as the SDL headers.
I can’t get anything to compile right now because there seems to be a
problem with stl_alloc.h on my system, it gives all sorts of errors (and
linux still can’t compile because of that stupid undefined reference to
atexit I can’t fix, leaving me really SOL). But if someone could just
explain to me the proper way to setup SDL and other libs on an OS X
system it would be greatly appreciated.

If you are using the default settings and making using ./configure, the
files will be installed into /usr/local/include, /usr/local/libs, etc.

Are you using ProjectBuilder? Did you add the path to the include files
to the include paths in the target settings pane? You need to do that.

I just use the standard ./configure approach. I then add the includes
paths to the project
and add the libraries manually to the project. I may have to run the
ranlib tool on the
libraries, but after that, everything works. I have no problem with
stl_alloc. It sounds
like you have some configuration issue.
Drop me a note if you need more help.
