Bugzilla Bug 11141

searched the forums but nothing there helped

checking for SDL - version >= 1.1.3... no
*** Could not run SDL test program, checking why...
*** The test program failed to compile or link. See the file config.log for the
*** exact error that occured. This usually means SDL was incorrectly installed
*** or that you have moved SDL since it was installed. In the latter case, you
*** may want to edit the sdl-config script: /usr/bin/sdl-config
<snip>
make: *** [all-recursive] Error 1

just me?

This is most likely a duplicate of bug 10383

ln -s /usr/lib/libvga.so.1.4.3 /usr/lib/libvga.so.1 

should fix the problem. 

I already have that link, so it's probably not a dup.  No further info, BTW :(

please post the file 'config.log' in the build directory

config.log for libmovtar

as requested

done.

sorted - had to upgrade svgalib to testing version - dunno why but it worked!

could you try re-emerging svgalib ? 
also, is this a system that upgraded from glibc-2.2.x to glibc-2.3.x ?

/usr/lib/libvga.so.1: undefined reference to `__ctype_tolower_loc@GLIBC_2.3' 

No - Live UT CD install.

BTW, I'm not sure what you mean, I emerged svgalib to the testing version and it
worked.  Do you want me to downgrade, or remerge the existing version.  And what
result do you expect me to see?

completely missed you comment #6 :) 
 
basically svgalib-1.9.16 worked just fine for you ? 

In the sense that it allowed me to emerge libmovtar, yes it was that simple.  I
still haven't managed to get mjpegtools installed yet, but that's for another
bug report ;)

ok, ill look into getting that guy unmasked 

once Bug 11092 is cleared up we will be able to unmask latest svgalib
