I get the following error while building the itasc branch on my ubuntu
jaunty system:

====> make all in intern/itasc
make[2]: sdl-config: Command not found
make[2]: sdl-config: Command not found
make[2]: sdl-config: Command not found
mkdir: cannot create directory
`/home/rsmits/workspace/blender-itasc/obj/linux-glibc2.9-x86_64/intern/intern/itasc':
No such file or directory

I guess the problem is the double intern listing in the path, probably
something wrong in some makefile, i looked around a bit but did not
found out yet where the error comes from
