Hello-

I am trying to compile noeGNUd v0.8.3. The data files went fine, but
when I tried to compile the Nethack v3.4.3 (make install_nh343) I got
the following error over and over:

/bin/sh: line 1: sdl-config: command not found

I already had libsdl1.2debian and libsdl-mixer1.2. I installed
libsdl1.2debian-all and get the same result. Any assistance would be
appreciated. Please bear in mind, though, that I have exactly 3 days of
experience with Linux and I am working out of a "Dummies" book and web
content, so if you would explain it to me as if you were trying to
explain something to a retarded monkey, all the better.

If you want to compile a program that uses a library, you usually need
the headers of the library additionally to the library itself. Some
libraries also need configuration programs. You can find this stuff in
the developement packages, e.g. libsdl1.2-dev
