To know what configure looks for, you must read the configure.ac file.

For SDL:

--8<-----------
GB_COMPONENT(
  Xcursor,
  XCURSOR,
  [Xcursor],
  [],
  [GB_FIND(Xcursor.h, /usr /usr/local /usr/X11R6, include/X11/Xcursor)],
  [GB_FIND(libXcursor.$SHLIBEXT, /usr /usr/local /usr/X11R6, lib lib/X11R6/)],
  [-lXcursor],
  [],
  ["Support for colorized cursors"])

GB_COMPONENT(
  sdl,
  SDL,
  [SDL],
  [src],
  [GB_FIND(SDL_opengl.h SDL.h SDL_image.h, `sdl-config --prefix`, 
include/SDL)],
  [GB_FIND(libSDL_image.$SHLIBEXT , /usr /usr/X11R6 /usr/local 
`sdl-config --prefix`, lib)],
  [`sdl-config --libs` -lSDL_image -lGL -lGLU],
  [`sdl-config --cflags`])

GB_COMPONENT(
  sdl_sound,
  SDL_SOUND,
  [SDL sound],
  [sound],
  [GB_FIND(SDL_mixer.h SDL_cdrom.h, `sdl-config --prefix`, include/SDL)],
  [GB_FIND(libSDL_mixer.$SHLIBEXT, /usr /usr/local `sdl-config --prefix`, 
lib)],
  [`sdl-config --libs` -lSDL_mixer],
  [`sdl-config --cflags`])
--8<-----------

GB_FIND(F1 F2 F3, A1 A2 A3, B1 B2 B3) means that the files F1, F2 and F3 must 
be located in all combinations of (A1 A2 A3)*(B1 B2 B3) directories.

So there, libXCursor.so is searched into:
* /usr/lib
* /usr/local/lib
* /usr/X11R6/lib
* /usr/lib/X11R6
* /usr/local/lib/X11R6
* /usr/X11R6/lib/X11R6

For all SDL components, the searched files are:
* XCursor.h
* libXCursor.so
* SDL_opengl.h 
* SDL.h 
* SDL_image.h
* libSDL_image.so
* SDL_mixer.h 
* SDL_cdrom.h
* libSDL_mixer.so

You can see to that the 'sdl-config' program is needed.

For MySQL component:

--8<-----------
GB_COMPONENT(
  mysql,
  MYSQL,
  [MySQL driver],
  [src],
  [GB_FIND(mysql.h my_config.h, /usr/local/lib /usr/local /opt /usr/lib /usr, 
include mysql*/include)],
  [GB_FIND(libmysqlclient.$SHLIBEXT, /usr/local /opt /usr, lib mysql*/lib)],
  [$C_LIB -lmysqlclient -lz])
--8<-----------

The files mysql.h and my_config.h are searched in a bunch of different 
directorys, as well the libmysqlclient.so library.

In a few words, you must check:

1) That all these files are installed on your system. On Mandriva, I can 
search a package from a file included in it.

2) That the files are located in a directory specified by the GB_FIND() macro. 
Otherwise, tell me which directory is missing so that I add it in the macro 
call.
