export PKG_CONFIG_PATH=/usr/local/lib/pkgconfig and bingo checking directfb supprt .... yes move runtime libSDL out of the way and symlink to built lib reboot and hapiness. is the pkgconfig issue a quirk of DirectFB nothing else I've ever built has done this. again thank you to all for your help and patience.
