PSE help with SuSE 8.2 and svgalib

[Joop Mutter <jmutter@xxxxxxxxxxxxx]

Hi Friends

I am a total newbie on Linux and bought my first package yesterday (SuSE 8.2
personal)
Installation went fine, internet and sound looks OK.
I have installed nasm, and gcc seems to be working.
However, when installing Linrad 01-06 I get an error message towards the end
of the compilation process, looks like something wrong with svgalib.
 msg:
/usr/lib/gcc-lib/i486-suse-linux/3.3/ ../../../../i486-suse-linux/bin/ld:
cannot find -lvgagl   collect2  ld returned 1 exit status
make: xxx[linrad] error 1

Leif advised me to reinstall svgalib143, I did exactly what i was told to do
on Linrad-homepage, got NO errors, still no compilation possible.
Then i went to 2 different RPM installations, looked like they worked ok,
but still no success in compiling Linrad
During all activities I was logged in as "root".

Since i am a total newbie on Linux, i really don't know what to do now...
I went through the linrad-archive file , saw some threads on SuSE 82, but
not enough to help me out.

Any help would be VERY much appreciated !!

Thanks, 73
