[Splashy-users] splashy and Graphics Card's native fb driver

[Luis]

Why are you trying to install libdirectfb-dev from sources? are you
using a system based on Sarge/Dapper or anything which has directfb
0.9.22 (or below)?

The new version of Splashy works with directfb 0.9.22, but, it's
tested and developed using 0.9.24 and 0.9.25. This is because the way
the debian package is done and bugs that we filed against previous
versions of the dfb library, which were fixed on dfb 0.9.24.

Another thing you can do is simply get the binary package from Sid
(Splashy). Since Splashy s compiled statically, it should work fine
with any (older) system/distribution.
