I added a new entry to the SDL Linux FAQ:
http://www.libsdl.org/faq/FAQ-Linux.html#LINUX_SDL12vs11
Q: I have SDL 1.2 installed, but an application needs SDL 1.1?
the author of the application. In the meantime, in this particular
case, SDL 1.2 is binary compatible with SDL 1.1, so you can create
a symbolic link pointing from libSDL-1.1.so.0 to libSDL-1.2.so.0
See ya!
-Sam Lantinga, Lead Programmer, Loki Software, Inc.A: The application should be updated to use SDL 1.2 - please contact
