Missing libSDL-1.2.so.0 installing virtualbox on redhat 5.3

I tried installing virtualbox on a redhat 5.3 (32 bit) on an intel box. It cannot find prereq libSDL-1.2.so.0 while trying to install the rpm with yum. I have looked for someplace to download the prereq and cannot find it. Does anyone know where I can find the prereq? Thanks in advance.

Install the SDL package. On my 5.3 system its full name is SDL-1.2.10-8.el5.i386.

# yum provides */libSDL-1.2.so.0

.. will show the package providing 'libSDL-1.2.so.0'

Or use : # yum search SDL

The install : # yum install SDL

Thank you. Found the RPM after a time on the install disk. It looks like the product installed OK. Now on to testing. Thanks again.
