SDL extension issues...
Hey everybody,
I've been doing windows game programming as a hobby for a few years, but I want to start using SDL so that my games will be cross-platform and all that.
Anyway, I've installed SDL and that works fine, but I can't get SDL_image or SDL_ttf installed.
I used yum and just did "yum install SDL_image" and "yum install SDL_ttf" Yum said they were installed sucessfully, but g++ can't find the header files. I went to the /usr/include/SDL directory where they should be, but they're not there. Also, a search of the entire file system reveals no files with the name of SDL_image. Weird.
Does anyone have any ideas of why this is happening? Or perhaps an alternative method of installing these two extensions?
Thanks,
Svenjamin
Oh yeah, I'm running Fedora 8 by the way.

Are you sure you've installed the development files or just runtime libraries?
Try looking for something like libsdl-ttf-dev.

Yeah, that was the problem. I figured it out right after I posted this and forgot to mention I fixed it. Thanks though!
