[SDL] Weirdness building 1.3.0

I've tried to build 1.3.0 from svn today. I did a complete update to
make sure I had the correct code. I built the library and installed it
with not problems. But, then I tried to build in the test directory and
ran into a problem that has me stumped.
here is what I typed and the results:

Ok, it says that sdl-config is reporting the wrong version of sdl. So, I test to see what it returns:
> bob at voyager:~/sdl/sdl1.3/test$ sdl-config --version
> 1.3.0
> bob at voyager:~/sdl/sdl1.3/test$ /usr/local/bin/sdl-config --version
> 1.3.0
> bob at voyager:~/sdl/sdl1.3/test$ which sdl-config
> /usr/local/bin/sdl-config
> bob at voyager:~/sdl/sdl1.3/test$
Which pretty much proves that the correct sdl-config is installed
and it is the one that you get by default and from the install directory.
Could I get a little help figuring this out?
