Hello,
So far I can run the ./configure but I got an SDL error. I downloaded SDL and installed that but how do I tell the ./configure command the path for the SDL-CONFIGURE. I didn't see any switches in the documentation for that.
Thanks!
./configure --help might give you the swich for pointing at SDL if configure doesn't find sdl on its own
Thanks, I got that working but I get errors from SDL now.
I'm running as sudo as well.

uhm did you actually compile and install SDL ?

How to ask questions the smart way!
sorry, forgot to mention that, yes, I followed the instructions and did
./configure the make then make install. I didn't see any errors.
According to the config.log it's looking for SDL.h and can't find it.
if you do ./configure and then make install then the files will be in
/usr or /usr/local
(directories include,bin and lib)
so that directory where it finds sdl-config is wrong.

I searched for all sdl-config files, when it installed it didn't copy the sdl-config file but the SDL.h is in the /usr/include directory. The sdl-config file seems to point there and prefix is pointig to /usr/local but for some reason I'm getting that permission denied error.
it worked, it was just a priv thing on the sdl-config file. A friend of mine just had me do chmod 777 on it. It compiled at least. Now to test it.
I think it would work, but says it can't initialize video now.
