The fact that while I download SDL occaisionally to see how it's
getting on, nothing ever seems to compile. Here i have a nice shiny
Redhat 7.2 system. I install the latest development RPM from the
website, and get the "gears" demo. Configure works and then compiling
it says:

Amongst other things.

Doesn't fill me with confidence anything else will work when the demos
off the site don't.
