ClanLib
ClanLib is a cross-platform game SDK currently supporting Windows and Linux. It provides easy-to-use interfaces for 2D graphics, input, sound, resources, networking, GUI, OpenGL, and more. The goal is to provide a game SDK that does all the dirty work that all modern games need to implement anyway, thus making the game developer concentrate on the gameplay instead of reinventing the wheel over and over again.

The link on this page is to the development release 7.8, but some programs prefer the stable release, 6.5. Check which one your programs need. If the ./configure script for the program says that it cannot find ClanLib you have probably got the wrong version.
Also, the download link for the Hermes dependancy on ClanLib's page is broken. The correct link is:
http://clanlib.org/download/legacy/Hermes-1.3.3.tar.bz2
a kickass game SDK!!!
It's the best.
