All right, I'm pretty much lost and before I go asking around on other boards, I'm going to go ahead and try you guys. Planescape: Torment only works when windowed in wine, and that's not really an ideal state for me, so I'm trying to install GemRB engine. I went to the GemRB website, dled source code, dled source code / compiled / make installed all dependencies, and when I try to make GemRB, this happens:
"

Basically, what the fuck? What's wrong? What am I missing? I have installed downloaded and installed SDL from it's website, exactly according to instructions!

I tried googling the answer for this particular problem, but couldn't find anything. So, basically, what the hell? What's wrong?

What did you download from SDL's website?

Have you tried installing Ubuntu's SDL dev files from your package manager?

:-/

First you want to uninstall that python2.7 you compiled and installed
Then you have 2 choices:
Recompile python with -fPIC (--enable-shared in configure should set the -fPIC flag)
or
Install python development files from repository with "apt-get install python2.7-dev"

Ya.

Don't worry thou, I give up. I'll just get it running under windows - I've had some issues so I thought I'll go for gemRB under Kubuntu, but that only added more of them. A truckload. Yes I know it's still the same error, I've just spent an hour trying to uninstall one damn app, apparently without success thou, so I'm sort of fed up.
