Help needed to install blender on AMD 64, libSDL-1.2.so.0 not found error

[Trichy pasupathy]

Hi,

Thanks for your response. I did the following to get blender working.

I downloaded and saved SCONS from Fedora extras for x64 and the source
from Blender.  Unpacked Blender's scource. It had an SConstruct file
ready. I compiled using scons and later used scons clean to delete
some temp files. Then Blender worked.

I later found that Fedora extras had Blender to download! 

Thanks.
