Nobody asked to.
If several (many ?) people encounter the same trouble, maybe these would 
find useful to have a startpoint in the doc identifying the problem and 
saying "SDL rpms use to be broken, so don't use them", or "use the 
Makefile line 85 trick", or whatever you think is the Right (and useful) 
Way.
