[SDL] env variables

[baci]

I'm new to this list so please excuse a question which may have been
asked before.

I'd like to set up SDL so that my Adv. Programming class can use work
with it to create some games. We have a unique environment. We use
K12LTSP (linux terminal services). Fedora 5, Gnome. I've downloaded SDL
and SDL-dev rpms and installed them. We use Kate for our coding and g++
commandline for compiling. I really want the kids to see how it works in
as raw a state as possible. I've tried compiling some simple test code:

g++ sdlTEST.cpp -o sdlTEST 'sdl-config --cflags --libs'

and get

g++: sdl-config --cflags --libs: No such file or directory

Here is the output of some things which I think may be of some value.

[root at xserve4 advpgrm07]# which libSDL
/usr/bin/which: no libSDL in

I'm sure I have to set environment variables but dont know where to
point them or how to set them properly. Thanks for any help.
