did you install the svgalib packages from within the package-manager? For MDK10 you will need to install ...

- svgalib-1.9.18-1mdk.i586.rpm (the base package)
- libsvgalib1-1.9.18-1mdk.i586.rpm (the libs)
-- (optional) libsvgalib1-devel-1.9.18-1mdk.i586.rpm

Search in the package-manager if those RPMs are tagged as "installed". If not, install them. If MDK10 doesn't come with the RPMs, just d/l the files from one of the many MDK-mirrors (e.g SUNET.SE/MDK mirror).

The above link also contains the packages for the newer Mandrake releases (10.1).

keep us informed
