Karolina, I do appreciate your quick response to my question. Well, I just tried installing libsdl1.2-dev again, and got the following errors: ># apt-get install libsdl1.2-dev >Reading Package Lists... Done >Building Dependency Tree...

I also looked in the Karolina KDE 3.1RC5 directories and haven't found a substitute package. I'm still trying to figure out how to solve this problem. Now that I've calmed down enough to think, I remember that I had a similar problem when I installed the KDE 3.0.4 packages from kde.org, and I worked around that problem by installing an aRts-less version of SDL. What do I need to do to get some SDL headers on my system? (well, there's always downloading the SDL tarball and compiling myself...) /me pines for a Debian equivalent of "rpm --nodeps --force"...
