Wasn't aware that I needed the SDL-packag. So I installed everything
that was SDL-ish on my SuSE:
rpm -qa|grep -i sdl
SDL_ttf-2.0.6-67
SDLmm-0.1.8-713
SDLmm-devel-0.1.8-713
SDL-1.2.5-228
SDL_sound-0.1.5-478
SDL-devel-1.2.5-228
SDL_image-1.2.3-67
SDL_net-1.2.5-65
SDL_mixer-1.2.5-52
SDL_perl-1.20.0-194
SDL_image-devel-1.2.3-67

It didn't help to install the SDL-stuff:
tuxmath &
[1] 2675

Error: I couldn't load a music file:
/usr/local/share/tuxmath/sounds/game.mod
The Simple DirectMedia error that occured was:
Couldn't read from '/usr/local/share/tuxmath/sounds/game.mod'
 
In the rpm-docs it says
"Due to popular demand, here is a simple multi-channel audio mixer.
It supports 8 channels of 16 bit stereo audio, plus a single channel
of music, mixed by the popular MikMod MOD, Timidity MIDI and SMPEG MP3
libraries."

so I'm puzzled it won't take the game.mod-file.
