Yeah, I installed SDL_image (and SDL) from source so my compiling and linking is done like this:

gcc sdl-config --cflags whatever.c
gcc sdl-config --libs` -lSDL_image -llua -llualib -I/System/Library/Frameworks/OpenGL.framework/Headers -o Application whatever.o

Im just wondering will that work on your setup because you have installed the libraries as frameworks?
I ask this because im trying to make a multiplatform game and im really worried that its not going to work on somone elses computer.
