Yes, it's in my path. Besides, if it were not in my path, all other SDL
software would fail to compile. I compiled SDL myself, I don't need any
devel package.

Yes, that's why I had trouble finding any SDL.pc file in the SDL sources.
In order to test my SDL setup, I created a file "test.cc" containing
void main()
{
}
I compiled and linked it to SDL by doing
gcc test.cc -lSDL
It works perfectly. Why can MJPEG Tools not find SDL?
Cheers,
Dik
