I have installed SDL-1.2.8.tar.gz and run several of the test programs provided with it on Mandrake 9.1. I'm getting the following from ./configure;

Is libIMG some other requitement from libsdl?

Fire up urpmi, do a search for "SDL", and select every package with the string "-devel" in it and try again.

./configure isn't finding the headers, which aren't needed for execution, but are needed for compiling.

No, I suspect there's something else wrong. The check for the headers comes one step later ( and gives unconstructive advice if it fails ).
cahewson: Try Lucifers advice; if that does not help, please post the config.log ( the last 20 lines or so should be enough ) here. There'll be more detailed error messages there.

I also installed SDL_image-1.2.8.tar.gz and that seems to have resolved headers. I have working copy (offline) and will stat to optomize it for my system. Thanks
