configure:3755: error: SDL >= 1.2.0 is required

checking for sdl-config… /usr/bin/sdl-config

configure: error: SDL >= 1.2.0 is required

It complains about libsdl, but it is installed:

>/usr/bin/sdl-config –version
1.2.12

I’m clueless in this situation. Any ideas?

I’m running AMD X2 3800-Gigabyte GAM55S-S3/ATI Radeon X550 (256 DDR)/2GB DDR II 800/Logitech Precision gamepad.

I got zsnes to work in my Debian (Etch) following your guide and I had to even go through the fix. I think everyting went OK. I’m having quite a few issues though. Sound is never without a very naughty grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr so I went through every possibility between the available sound options inside the zsnes to get rid of it somehow. But I just couldn’t. The other issue is with video conf, I can’t play at 1280×1024 F coz it blacks out my screen and there’s no way I can go back from there to reboot safely or whatever.

You must understand a lot more than I do…so the question is…

How would you address those in this given scenario?

This message informs that your system does not have package zlib1g-dev installed. Install it and try again.
