Problem compiling a programing using SDL under Ubuntu 5.40.
 

I'm getting the SDL/SDL.h: No such file or directory error when compiling my programs...

It worked just fine under my 5.04 Hoary Hedgechog version of Ubuntu, but since my upgrade I'm at a lose.

Here is my make file...

test031206: main.o fight.o gSDL.o
g++ main.o fight.o gSDL.o -Wall `sdl-config --cflags --libs` -lSDL -o test031206
fight.o: fight.cpp headerfiles.h
g++ -c fight.cpp
main.o: main.cpp headerfiles.h
g++ -c main.cpp
gSDL.o: gSDL.cpp headerfiles.h
g++ -c gSDL.cpp

What should I do?

What gives

I think you have a wrong /etc/apt/sources.list. Or you have a good one but have not run
Candidate: none
ouch

You first have to resolve this problem then

apt-get install libsdl1.2-dev

I believe I got my repositories corrected, I'll update this thread once I get my problem eradicated.

It works now, np's. Just needed to fix my repositories and install libsdl-dev.
