Error: Could not find 'SDL Network Library'

[sourkraut]

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.

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.
