That would mean that you dont have SDL installed (maybe you do, but not one of it's parts). Try searching for SDL in the RPM package database, and installing SDL mixer.
Thanks a lot for your post I did go to package INSTALLER in Mandrake Control Center and there was a package like that. Now, my game is purple, red, geen, yellow in color. The game does run, but in those colors.... speckled like salt and pepper.

Hmm... Does it say anything about something like that in the README? Did you install all packages assosiated with SDL (you'll probably need them)? What's your video card model?
hmmmmmmmmmmm. well i managed to get cube to work but after i just about downloaded all the SDL libs and recompiled them. no idea on the color...the only problem i have is that sometimes it quits on its own.
I have an intel 810 chipset onboard. Mandrake usually handles package dependencies and did prompt of some. Changing gamma settings worked when Diablo 2 on Windows long ago had a color mess up. It doesn't work here. I'm also getting freezes when I get killed in multiplayer and when the mutliplayer game ends. I could show you the colour errors if I can take an ingame screenshot. I tried windowed, and it colours my entire desktop.

Probably something to do with the drivers, I bet you're using DRI. Try updating to the latest version (of DRI), or getting a new video card (nVidia recommended).
Actulay, i got some salt and pepper with my G2, its ur resolution. try doing this.... "./cube_unix -w1024 -h768" or switch the "w" and "h" around. (forgot which goes where)

Did RHLinuxGuy's method work for you? If so, you don't need to upgrade. DRI stands for Direct Rendering Infrastructure, and it's an open-source 3D accelerator for all cards that don't have their own drivers (ie, nVidia or high-end ATI's).
