All that indicates to me is that there is a bug in the SDL-devel package. I haven't tried to build an SDL program, since I don't think it's necessary for the sake of argument - you can tell us what will happen if I were to try. Perhaps the problem is that SDL-devel does not include the libSDL shared library. IMO, shared libraries should be included in both xxx and xxx-devel packages. AIUI, rpm can handle that adequately. --- Charlie
