Do Chromium and Armagetron use SDL? I know frozen-bubble and tower toppler do. Do those work for you? That will tell you if you have the normal libs. By default, I don't think Mandrake installs the dev libs, which is what you'll need for compiling...
I was able to get tuxtyping to compile with a little effort on 8.2 before I moved to 9. Basically it involved getting the results of ./configure, going to rpmfind.net, finding what RPM the file was in, installing the RPM and then wash, rinse and repeat. Good luck!

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. -- /\ Dark< >Lord \/
