Thanks Josh. I already had links for the right .pc files in /usr/lib/pkgconfig. I
also made a link to the right SDL build in the runtime dir. Still I get the same
errors.
Is there anyway to check if the SDL I have do have Directfb support?
Any developers in here who can help me out? Here is the output of freedo
