Installing SDL problem

ctux · 08-07-2004, 07:04 AM

Hi, i am trying to install SDL 1.2.7 ( necessary to play a game

) but when i try to install or update the rpm. It appears an error:

rpm -U (or i) SDL-1.2.7-1.i386.rpm

file /usr/lib/libSDL-1.2.so.0.7.0 from install of SDL-1.2.7-1 conflicts with file from package libSD1.2-1.2.7-2mdk

I have mandrake 10.

Any help ?

It would appear that you already have SDL installed!

You're installing: SDL-1.2.7-1
You already have installed: libSD1.2-1.2.7-2mdk

Both of these are runtime packages: if your trying to compile a game then you'll need the appropriate -devel packages.

If the problem is that the game wants a specific SDL package, then tell it not to be so silly (--nodeps).
