cabal: Missing dependency on a for开发者_如何学运维eign library:
* Missing header file: smpeg.h
This problem can usually be solved by installing the system package that
provides this library (you may need the "-dev" version). If the library is
already installed but in a non-standard location then you can use the flags
--extra-include-dirs= and --extra-lib-dirs= to specify where it is.
cabal: Error: some packages failed to install:
SDL-mpeg-0.0.1 failed during the configure step. The exception was:
exit: ExitFailure 1

I tried using --extra-include-dirs=/usr/include/smpeg and setting the same in ~/.cabal/config, but to no avail. I even tried linking smpeg.h in /usr/include.

I'm running Ubuntu 9.10 Karmic Koala

Using "cabal -v3", I tracked down a solution:

sudo apt-get install libsmpeg-dev
cabal --extra-include-dirs=/usr/include/smpeg --extra-include-dirs=/usr/include/SDL install sdl-mpeg
