SDL missing?

[joeshro]

textwindow.cpp:12:29: SDL/sge_tt_text.h: No such file or directory
make[2]:***[textwindow.o] Error 2
...

It's the output error message when I make something, I think maybe my linux should have the "SDL", but since I am new to linux, I DON'T KNOW what's it is and where can I get it, and then how can I install this, help please!

Which distro? What program are you compiling?

If your distro is RPM-based, you probably have SDL-devel RPM's on the distro CDs. Or, failing that, there's always http://rpmfind.net

Otherwise, you might be able to apt-get install SDL-dev, or just compile SDL from source (www.libsdl.org).
