And you are correct! There is an old installation of SDL (version 1.1.4)
in /site/include/SDL (for one thing, this directory does not have a
SDL_mixer.h file). "sdl-config --cflags" runs the sdl-config in this
directory, which then gives the wrong flags. The new SDL (version 1.2.5)
is in /usr/include/SDL. By the may, it is not my installation. I'm at my
university, and I don't know why they would keep the old installation.
I'm don't think they will make it a priority to fix it. Ah, well, it is
not that important to me anyway. I thought it was a bug in the CVS, but
I was wrong. Which is a good thing. Thanks for the help!
