Hello all,
I'm looking for a good C++ gaming library with a tutorial, that will work well with the g++ compiler. I've looked around and found a few good tutorials, but with the libraries came days of unresolved headaches. Can any body help me out here?

Thanks

Assuming you already have some C++ experience:

http://lazyfoo.net/SDL_tutorials/index.php

...will help you out. His tutorials range from setting up the libraries for your specific IDE/editor to implementing each concept in SDL. And if you cite him in your source, you can even use the code there.

Libraries:
SDL (http://www.libsdl.org/)
SFML (http://sfml-dev.org/)
OpenGL (http://www.opengl.org/) + GLFW (http://glfw.sourceforge.net/)/GLUT (http://freeglut.sourceforge.net/)/SDL/SFML/etc.

Tutorials:
A ton at GameDev (http://www.gamedev.net/) (under the articles section)
A ton more at GDWiki (http://wiki.gamedev.net/index.php/Main_Page) (which I'm pretty sure is the same people behind GameDev)
The SDL tutorials above
