I do haver libsdl1.2debian-all installed. As I don't know what
exactly "set the SDL_CONFIG environment variable" means - I have a
true problem with environment variables- and how to set its value, I
gave up.
If (as is almost certain) you're using bash,
$ export SDL_CONFIG=<path-to-sdl-config>
in FreeBSD, that would be /usr/local/bin/sdl-config
in Slackware, /usr/bin/sdl-config
If you can't find the full path in Debian, do
$ locate sdl-config
Also works in Slackware, but not tested elsewhere,
$ export SDL_CONFIG=`locate sdl-config`
