Problems with SDL and Slackware 8.1

niklas_bolander · July 31, 2002, 9:11pm

Has anybody else out there managed to get this combo working?
I installed the SDL without any errors but I can’t complile any
applications.
When running configure for the tests i recieve the following message:

checking for SDL - version >= 1.2.3… no
*** Could not run SDL test program, checking why…
*** The test program compiled, but did not run. This usually means
*** that the run-time linker is not finding SDL or finding the wrong
*** version of SDL. If it is not finding SDL, you’ll need to set your
*** LD_LIBRARY_PATH environment variable, or edit /etc/ld.so.conf to
point
*** to the installed location Also, make sure you have run ldconfig if
that
*** is required on your system***
*** If you have an old version installed, it is best to remove it,
although
*** you may also be able to get things to work by modifying
LD_LIBRARY_PATH
configure: error: *** SDL version 1.2.3 not found!

I installed the library at /usr/local/lib (is included in
/etc/ld.so.conf), i have run ldconfig and i’ve tried setting up
LD_LIBRARY_PATH to /usr/local/lib

after checking out the faqs I removed the config.cache files and made
sure that there wheren’t any old SDL versions hiding in some dark corner
of my fs.

finally some more info…

/usr/local/bin/sdl-config

I’ve been able to compile several SDL which depend on SDL successfully.
Did you try installing the SDL package in extra’s ?

Is it maybe finding the cersion of SDL in texRacer first, and that isn’t
a high enough version. Try renaming those files, rerun ldconfig, then
rerun configure.
