The following prerequisition was missing:

# aptitude install libsvga1-dev

Please update the wiki page.

This is not a bug of the configure script. The dependency is there because the Debian package is built against libsvga. And therefore an entry 'Recommends: libsvga1-dev' is contained in the libsdl1.2-dev package. Our configure script cannot check against each backend the SDL package is compiled for.
