sdl not found

[me]

Hi,
I have installed SDL after getting all the dependancies, but when running the ./configure --enable-boost-128 I keep getting an error saying

*** The sdl-config script installed by SDL could not be found
*** If SDL was installed in PREFIX, make sure PREFIX/bin is in
*** your path. Or set the SDL_CONFIG environment variable to the
*** full path to the sdl-config.

also when I run make I get this error

I've been trying to get this game working for a few days now and I really want to play it as it looks really good. If anyone can help it would be most appreciated

Thanks

Hi,

have you installed sdl via rpm/deb/ebuild or via tgz&configure make make install?

Our error looks like some sld dependant packets (sdlmixer&co) got compiled against a different libsdl.

To solve this problem, you have to:
install lib sdl (you did it, great, next step).
run ldconfig.
rebuild all sdl packages! (sdl-net, sdl-mixer, sdl-sound etc pp) .
run ldconfig (both ldconfig runs are superflous. They are to be save).

After that, go into the vs dir, make a make clean and start again with configure.

[hellcatv]

go into src/aldrv
make clean
make
cd ..
make

if that deosn't work at top level
make clean; make
