After installing SyncTerm on an AWS EC2 instance running Amazon Linux which is based on RHEL, I get this message:
SDL Video Initialization Failed
$ sudo yum install gcc
$ sudo yum install patch
$ sudo yum install ncurses-devel
$ sudo yum install SDL2-devel
Try setting the SDL_VIDEODRIVER environment variable to the value of dum (e.g. EXPORT SDL_VIDEODRIVER=dummy).
I am seeing the same error message. Here is the scenario:
$ export SDL_VIDEODRIVER=dummy
$ printenv SDL_VIDEODRIVER
dummy
$ syncterm
[...program starts and I exit with ESC...]
SDL Video Initialization Failed
So syncterm starts normally but when I return to the console after exiting, I see the error message. This EC2 instance has no "/dev/dri" directory, does that have something to do with the problem?

Wasn't the SDL needed SDL1 & SDL1-dev?? I could be wrong, but I think thats what get her rocking for me on some ubuntu flavor..

As of SyncTERM v1.2 (now in alpha testing), SDL2 is used (not SDL1).
