Hmm I think my last post was rather messy, but I'll try to explain better.

When I unpacked the SDL 1.2.4 and the I ran ./configure, make, make install
and it ran, after that I unpacked the SDL_Mixer1.2.4 and ran ./configure,
this is where it says that SDL 1.2.4 is not correctly installed or it has been moved or installied incorrectly
installed. any ideas?

did it do an ldconfig for you? Maybe the lib's arent loaded properly. Also maybe a reboot is necessary (unlikely, but possible).

I'll check with my friend later, right now I'll DL frozen bubble

Edit: I need SDL and the SDL mixer to play that too =/
I'll have to phone my friend on this

I've all sorts of SDL packages installed (devel, image, net, ttf,...) and it still says that I don't have it installed
Unfortunately I only can troubleshoot at weekends when I'm at home...maybe I'll find the problem this week.

Thanks, I'm still trying to get my friend over but he's as lame as always :P Well you got to learn something from this right?
Any ideas for the SDL problem?

'ldconfig' reloads the necessary libraries that your system was told it requires. Obviously, you have a confilict. SDL_mixer is looking for version B when A is actually loaded. As root try an 'ldconfig' or '/sbin/ldcofnig' and see if that helps. Otherwise reboot. A reboot may not be necessary, but should do the trick.

Well I removed the temp directories and made a ldconfig as root (dident say anything after I executed it)
I re installed the SDL package, went fine as usual. Then i started on the SDL-Mixer
I got this when I ran ./configure
(writing this of my xterm console, since I cant find a way to copy it)

That is an easy one for a channge Highlight the text in the area you want to copy. LEAVE IT HIGHLIGHTED and middle click in the area you want to paste.

Okay, I want to see your /usr/local/bin/sdl-config and your config.log. thats if you dont mind, of course ;D

It doesnt look like the SDL - mixer program is looking in the right place, I dont think you are having any problems with the installation though.

What you need to do is check the SDL - mixer readme or find out where it is looking for the SDL program. You could have compiled and installed SDL in the wrong place and SDL -mixer is looking for the default location. Check the install script and see where it is looking and edit the script or just move the SDL program to the correct location.
