configure typically looks for "upstream" source tarball modules, like
"libgcrypt", these are often split into multiple packages on a distro,
but the configure scripts don't have any idea about this.

This means you don't have libsdl devel packages installed, however I
don't think this is actually a problem, it just means sdl won't be
supported. You can probably continue with the next step here (or install
sdl headers if you want to).
