I'm running 1.4.1 (still) with directfb. I know that when I recompiled
SDL with directFB support I had to move the SDL stuff from the runtime
directory out and copy or link the built one in its place. I don't know
if you have the runtime installed or not (I'm not even sure there is a
runtime for 1.5.0).

Other problems I had involved the .pc files (directfb.pc,
directfb-internal.pc) being installed in the wrong location by Make
install. this caused SDL to not detect the presence of DirectFB when I
ran configure for SDL. In my case Make install put them in
/usr/local/lib/pkgconfig but SDL configure looks for them in
/usr/lib/pkgconfig. All i did to fix that was copy them to the proper
place. before that I swore up and down 3 time the SDL had been compiled
with DirectFB support only to find that configure had told me it could
detect it.

the errors I got with bogus DirectFB support were similar to the ones
you're getting.

Hope this helps.
