If you mean SDL runtime libs, all you need to do is copy the files into some directory listed in /etc/ld.so.conf
There are precompiled downloads available at libsdl.org (try the deb packages...you'll need the dsl-dpkg extension).  If for some reason you can't install from deb, you should be able to at least extract the files.

We've talked about making an SDL extension before, and the bottom line is that it would cause more trouble than it would fix.  The files are small, so they can easily be included with whatever package needs them....better than making too many dependent extensions.

Thanks for your reply mike - I'm actually talking about SDL for development purposes in c/c++.  Do I only need to copy the lib in that case too?  Wouldn't I need header files as well at least?  I don't see those anywhere in the archieve..?  Any advice/info appreciated..

thanks!
Brad

Yeah, that would be an extra set of files.  There are some deb packages listed here
http://packages.debian.org/stable/devel/
scroll down to libsdl-*
