On Mandrake (and possibly Redhat as well), sdl-config is in a special packaged 
called libSDL-versionnumber-devel.  So do a search or something in YaST (I 
know, I know, YaST < Mandrake COntrol Center, but do what you can with it) 
that looks like an SDL development package, with a description accompanying 
it that probably says "Use if you intend to compile/build programs with SDL".

It's useless to try to hold some people to anything they say while they're
madly in love, drunk, or running for office.
