I concur 100% this isn't a fault of the software nor is something that can be resolved upstream, this is just about build system understanding and knowing where things are on your system, since fink does not pollute /usr the typical places to search like /usr/bin or /usr/local/bin will not turn up sdl-config, you have to tell configure that it's in /sw/bin/ as it has no way of knowing that on it's own. --- TS http://www.southofheaven.org/ Life begins and ends with chaos, live between the chaos!
