I have no idea what ocropus is, but:

These are standard SDL functions (part of the SDL package in Slackware),
not in an extra library like SDL_image.

The only obvious thing I see from your compile:

> g++  -O2 -march=i486 -mtune=i686 -Wl,-E -L/usr/lib -L/usr/lib -o ocroscript

I don't actually see -lSDL in that compile command. Don't know what's
causing it to be missing though. Normally, Makefiles and/or configure
scripts will use either "sdl-config --libs" or "pkg-config --libs sdl"
to get the correct link flags (both of which work fine on my -current
box), maybe this will give you a starting point to diagnose the problem...
