I've finally got this working - the SDL FAQ page sort of 
identifies the cause; the xorg dev files have to be installed 
before building SDL otherwise you end up with a 'non-x' version 
(not sure what you'd do with that!). I built SDL first and then 
tried installing the missing x development files.
