+--- Thread: Error: Could not find 'SDL Network Library' (/showthread.php?tid=791)
Error: Could not find 'SDL Network Library' - sourkraut - 10-04-2007
I had the game installed with the the generic nv video drivers and the frames were slow in the menu and the game.
I found out that I had the wrong drivers for my N6200 graphics card.
After loosing the GUI through poor linux (KUBUNTU) skills and reinstalling for a fast solution. I found out how to install the driver properly with ENVY.
Now I am using the latest Nvidia driver version -100.14.11
After reinstalling Vdrift I get the following error message from the package installer.
Checking for required C library versions ... OK
Checking for X ... OK
Checking for OpenGL Graphics Toolkit ... OK
Checking for OpenGL Utility Library ... OK
Checking for Simple DirectMedia Layer (SDL) ... OK

Error: Could not find 'SDL Network Library'. Try using the native package manager for Ubuntu 7.04 (apt-get) to install a package with similar name to 'sdl_net'.
Error: Unable to prepare package VDrift.
