I do as INSTALL file describes :
configure ; make ; make install - everything seems to be ok - no errors.
but when I try to compile “test” it puts errors :

[cut]
checking for sdl-config… /usr/local/bin/sdl-config
checking for SDL - version >= 1.2.3… no
*** Could not run SDL test program, checking why…
*** The test program failed to compile or link. See the file config.log
for the
*** exact error that occured. This usually means SDL was incorrectly
installed
*** or that you have moved SDL since it was installed. In the latter case,
you

but it still doesn’t work.
Your article didn’t help. :frowning:
