No idea - it depends on your distribution. If you've done step 2) then your package manager will have put the libs your system somewhere. Find them - the folder path will probably have "lib" in it, I reckon
The UT binary (executable) does not know where they are either, and so step 3) is about creating symbolic links (shortcut files) in the UT folder, so that the binary will attempt to reference them and run OK.

You were missing SDL, reading the error message helps, you know? It's really that simple as copy & pasting the actual error message to google.

Now I've got that End Of File issue.., which is a message given by UT.
