the sdl-test compiles without error, but:

$ ./sdl-test 
Segmentation fault

The problem seems to arise from the SDL, and not directly from
simutrans?

Sorry, I mean:
after purge and *before* reinstall /usr/share/games/simutrans/ folder
wasn't present

after reinstall, that folder is present, but 

$ ls -lA /usr/share/games/simutrans/skin/
total 28
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 25907 Feb 25 17:03 menu.WindowSkin.pak

and

$ ls -lA /usr/share/games/simutrans/pak/ |  grep skin
