What steps? There are rpms for Mandrake 8.1 at that link. Did you
use those? It would help if you said what you were installing SDL
for, ie, the app that needs them?

Download nothin, the SDL libs are on your CD's. Try'n undo
whatever you've done so far, and then just install the proper
Mandrake SDL rpms. If for some reason you believe you just haft'a
use the rpms at devolution.com, I'd suggest getting the src.rpm's and
rebuilding them on your system.
