Well, I didn't even know it but apparently I've got some SDL problems.
Everything from my 8.2 CD's is installed, but whenever I try to compile
something that requires SDL, invariably I get an error that says SDL can't be
found. I went to libsdl.org and d/l'ed the latest RPMs' but if you try to
install them there is a conflict. Go to remove the older version and there
are 10,000 dependencies.
Can I go ahead anyways and remove the old SDL stuff, (and of course, all the
other stuff thats tied to it) then install the newest version of SDL,
reinstall the software that was removed, and have it find the newer version?
Anyone have this problem before and know how to fix it? Thanks
PS One author says he has received complaints about Mandrake's SDL install
being broke before and more than once, but its odd to me that games here like
Chromium and Armagetron work fine, out of the box.
Thanks everyone.
