I am trying to compile zsnes. I installed the compiler, GCC and now it gives me an error message saying I need SDL. I have SDL 1.2.13 installed according to the Package Updater. Is there another SDL file i need? I'll post the terminal log here:

Rep:
*** The sdl-config script installed by SDL could not be found :
should be in /usr/bin, if not, you need sdl-dev, SDL1.2-devel or
SDL-devel, depending on distro.
Got a dependency error when downloading the update:
Missing Dependency: SDL = 1.2.12-2.fc8 is needed by package SDL-devel
I dont know what the problem is. I know I have SDL.

Rep:
Fedora 8 : If you are using 'yum' to download and install, things should
fit together : # 'yum install SDL-devel'
Your post #1 says you have SDL-1.2.13-2.fc8.i386.rpm
If you don't get SDL-devel-1.2.13-2.fc8.i386.rpm you might update your repo list.
(Both versions exists, just google it)
The versions on my DVD are SDL-1.2.12-2.fc8.i386.rpm SDL-devel-1.2.12-2.fc8.i386.rpm
