Then, when you configure make sure you specify a special prefix, such as: cd sdl-1.3 ./configure --prefix=/usr/local/libsdl13-root ...other args... make make install Then, when you build mproject, make sure that you add "--with-sdl-prefix=/usr/local/libsdl13-root" to the configure arguments, to tell it where SDL 1.3 is located. When you run the program, make sure that you set the LD_LIBRARY_PATH environment variable to /usr/local/libsdl13-root/lib, so that it looks for the SDL libraries there before looking in the normal library path.
