Firstly, congratulations on running a seriously old distro!

Joking aside, it's one thing to have SDL_mixer for running games that
require it, but have you also downloaded and installed SDL_mixer-devel?
SDL_mixer will only be useful if your code is already compiled but the
devel package is essential for compiling that code.

Open up a terminal and run

rpm -qa | grep SDL

that should sell you what's installed.
