Compiling Wesnoth 0.4.8 on Linux

[Dahrkon]

I get a whole mess of errors on one certain file when compiling. It happened to me on 0.4.7 also. Anyway, here are my system specs and the exact error I got.

Linux: Red Hat 9
GCC: 3.3.1
SDL: 1.2.6
I have mostly all the latest tools.

I'm stumped. Can anyone help me?

src/font.cpp:15:21: SDL_ttf.h: No such file or directory

lib SDL_ttf is missing, either the header (the devel rpm) or all the library.
You can get it from
http://www.libsdl.org/projects/SDL_ttf/
or try your distro CDs.

Ok I got it to work. Thanks.
