I am trying to install helm
. When I try to install it, however I get this error:
$ cabal install helm
Resolving dependencies...
Configuring sdl2-1.1.0...
cabal: The pkg-config package 'sdl2' version >=2.0.3 is required but it could
not be found.
Failed to install sdl2-1.1.0
cabal: Error: some packages failed to install:
helm-0.6.1 depends on sdl2-1.1.0 which failed to install.
sdl2-1.1.0 failed during the configure step. The exception was:
ExitFailure 1
When I go to install sdl2 by itself, I get a similar message.
$ cabal install sdl2
Resolving dependencies...
Configuring sdl2-1.1.0...
cabal: The pkg-config package 'sdl2' version >=2.0.3 is required but it could

I don't understand. According to Hackage, sdl2 is at version 1.1, but installing it requires version 2.0.3? I've tried this in and out of a sandbox. Results of ghc-pkg list
are here if you think they're relevant: http://pastebin.com/tFrsfPFe
I'm on Ubuntu btw.
Help?
