Installing SDL
A friend of mine has a program he wrote using SDL and wanted me to compile it under OS X for him, but I can't figure out how to get the framework installed.
I downloaded the packages from libsdl.org and tried to install them, but all that appears in the /Library/Frameworks folder is an SDL.framework folder that doesn't have any headers. Do I need to download and compile/install the source to have these headers available for use from the command line?
Thanks,
Andrew Cooper

You need to install the SDL-devel package rather than the end-user package.
If you're going to be doing a port of this game to Mac OS X, you should investigate including SDL.framework inside the application bundle, so that end users don't have to jump through hoops to play the game...
