I'm having issues trying to install sdl to run some applications. I used a string given by the FAQ of the app I was trying to run, but this is the result.



devlin@DiningRoomHP:~$ sudo apt-get install libsdl1.2-dev
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information... Done
E: Unable to locate package libsdl1.2-dev
E: Couldn't find any package by regex 'libsdl1.2-dev'


Anyone able to help with this?
