I installed the ubuntu 12.04.1 LTS. I just installed a compiler to c++ programming. It’s name is Anjuta. It’s a free programming software. I would like to make simple games with that one, but it shows to me: IMG_Load in-lSDL_image... no... And SDL_image not found, as you can see in the picture…
I tried to google it, install it, but it won’t work. What is the easiest way? Or better for beginning game programmers on linux? 🙂

SDL_Image is a library for development in C++. I suggest first getting a rad IDE to develop in – CodeBlocks is good:
http://www.codeblocks.org/downloads
Then I’d suggest following these tutorials, which will guide you into installing the relevant SDL libraries for C++ game development – SDL_Image is only one of them… and not the one I would start with:

This got me set up with SDL and C++ development. I have since made a game with decent graphics (2D) and playability, as well as an online component using SDL_net.
Good luck!
