Mike,


I get the same with an upgraded RedHat 7,1 to 72. On a fresh RH 7.2 
install the problem does not exist. You can simply fix it on your 
system, when you have libSDL-1.2.so.0 installed. Log in as root and then do

ln -s /usr/lib/libSDL-1.2.so.0 /usr/lib/libSDL-1.1.so.0


libSDL-1.2.so.0 and libSDL-1.1.so.0 are interface compatible ;-)
