Thanks, everyone. I had to download the source... couldn't get the
RPMs to work. But after compiling I followed your link instructions
and voila...
Thanks, again. Success feels good. 8^)

Thank you guys! You're very helpful!
I downloaded the rpm and typed:
#rpm -i svgalib-1.4.1-2.src.rpm
I don't think this is how this type of RPM gets installed.... it's a
"source" RPM I take it?
It didn't give any errors but didn't fix my compile problem, either.
Sorry for asking a Linux question.... but is there a right way to get
the graphics library installed?
This is already 1 step. The second step is installing the svgalib-devel
package. Alternatively, install a symbolic link to it:
cd /usr/lib
ln -s libvga.so.x.y.z libvga.so
replace x.y.z with the actual version number.

Thanks, again.

ps. BTW, we're eventually converting a DOS-based Turbo Pascal
program.
This program is used by scientists all over the world. They will
LOVE
to upgrade to Linux!

Hello!
The following happened while compiling the maze example application.
Do I need to compile this from a graphical terminal? I was using
SSH.
This is no problem at all. But you must run it on a local machine in
a
terminal (not from X)
Or am I missing something?
Yes, you need libsvga (package name maybe svgalib) installed.
/usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lvga
maze.pp(508) Error: Error while linking
Ciao,
