I get an error.

What is the error?

[superppl]

when i attempt to compile DevIL 1.6.8 i get:
gcc: /usr/lib/libSDL.so: No such file or directory
make[2]: *** [libILUT.la] Error 1
make[2]: Leaving directory `/windows/C/hold/appz/linux/DevIL-1.6.8-RC1/src-ILUT/src'
make[1]: *** [all-recursive] Error 1
make[1]: Leaving directory `/windows/C/hold/appz/linux/DevIL-1.6.8-RC1/src-ILUT'
make: *** [all-recursive] Error 1

DevIL build-depends on SDL?? I didn't know that. Anyway, did you already install SDL, as it seems it can't find it while compiling DevIL...

[superppl]

i installed sdl, but if it can't see it...
could be possible that my version is old and needs to be updated, i'll try that

[superppl]

i found out that sdl and the devel were different versions, so i updated sdl, but that didn't help
besides if it was a problem it would of came up during configuring

Is libSDL.so in /usr/lib/ or /usr/share/lib/

[superppl]

I don't have a /usr/share/lib so I checked in /usr/lib and I found it in there.
DevIL is being a devil to compile. Why can't DevIL see SDL?
Is there a lib or something like that that appz go to to see where certain things are? If it does exist, that file could be wrong...

[superppl]

I don't know what I did, but TASpring just got passed the DevIL error and configured OK.
YES!!!
Now to wait for problems to run into...
