Gutsy Gibbon: New version of libSDL-gfx packages.

[Osmo Maatta]

Hello,

1) I just want to inform you that Gutsy should update its version of
LibSDL_gfx  (SDL's 2D graphics library).
See:  http://www.ferzkopp.net/joomla/content/view/19/14/

Gutsy's version is based on LibSDL_Gfx 2.0.13-3 while the last stable is
SDL_gfx-2.0.16.tar.gz<http://www.ferzkopp.net/Software/SDL_gfx-2.0/SDL_gfx-2.0.16.tar.gz>
I mean there are many improvements in the code.
---------------

2) I noticed some problems when I ran the demos on Gutsy. The demos come
from "sdl-gfx-demos" package.
$ sudo ldconfig

$ cd /usr/share/SDL_gfx-demos

$ ./TestGfxPrimitives
./TestGfxPrimitives: error while loading shared libraries: libSDL_gfx.so.13:
cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory.

It worked after I sym linked (ln -s) /usr/lib/libSDL_gfx.so to
/usr/lib/libSDL_gfx.so.13.
---------------

$  apt-cache search SDL | grep gfx

libsdl-gfx1.2-4 - drawing and graphical effects extension for SDL
libsdl-gfx1.2-dev - development files for SDL_gfx
