It works for me under FreeBSD, too. Thank you very much :-)

BTW, are there any plans to fix the configure script some time in the future
so that you don't need to set LDFLAGS and CFLAGS manually to make configure
find SDL (and gtkglext) under FreeBSD?

Currently I use something like LDFLAGS="`sdl11-config --libs` `pkg-config
--libs gtkglext-1.0 gtk+-2.0`" and CFLAGS="-O -pipe `sdl11-config --cflags`
`pkg-config --cflags gtkglext-1.0 gtk+-2.0` -L/usr/local/lib -pthread`" and
additionally a symlink libSDL.so -> libSDL-1.1.so in /usr/local/lib.
(Probably it would also work with less flags, but I know that it works with
these)
This isn't a major issue for me now (as I know what to use), but of course
it would be nice if it worked without such a hack.

As I understand it, the problem with SDL mainly is that configure searches
for headers in /usr/local/include/SDL and tries to link to the library with
"-lSDL" while the FreeBSD SDL port puts the headers
into /usr/local/include/SDL11 and needs "-lSDL-1.1 -pthread".
It doesn't find gtkglext because configure doesn't look for the headers
in /usr/X11R6/include (where the FreeBSD port installs them).
