This maybe a SDL error. It occuers on my machine, too, but has nothing to do
with kdevelop/gideon. It is really strange - perhaps the SDL guys can solve.
I think the problem is aclocal: If I change in my /usr/share/aclocal/sdl.m4
all "SDL.h" to "SDL/SDL.h" and the line
LIBS="$LIBS $SDL_LIBS" to
LIBS="$LIBS $SDL_LIBS -lSDLmain -lSDL"
it works fine!
