SDL_mixer and fedora problem?

SDL Development

Are there any known problems with SDL_mixer, fedora and ogg files?

I have had a few complaints that my game(Concentration at www.shiftygames.com)
isn’t loading the ogg files, the failure is coming from Mix_LoadWAV. The same
RPMs work for SuSE and Mandrake with no problems. They have the files in the
proper place and they can play them manually. So the files exist and have
proper permissions.

I’m installing fedora 2 this week end. I’ll look at this problem.
Do you also have the problem when compiling from source (as opposed to
the rpm version) ? I’d rather recompile from source if I have to do some
debugging.

The messages are in the forum section on the web site, sorry if I made sound
like I am having the problem. It is others who are using Fedora who are
haviong the problem running my games. They didn’t mention trying the the src.
I am thinking its a problem with Fedoras packages, since I have only recieved
complaints from people who use Fedora. Please let me know how it works for
you.

It works fine here, with a stock fedora core 2 install (I used everyting
as packaged by fedora and rpm.livna.org except SDL_ttf that I got from
libsdl.org).
Maybe all those bugs are fedora core 1 specific ?
