libsdl 404 error

Hello Retropie Comrades!

I'm attempting to install Retropie 4.3.10 on a Raspberry Pi 3 with Raspbian. When I run the setup script, however, I keep getting a 404 error for two packages.

I get the following output:

I tried to get the .deb packages from the Debian repos, but they did not work. I also tried using wget to download the packages, as well as accessing them from the browsers w3m and firefox. None worked.

Does anyone have any advice?

I would be very grateful for your help.

Sincerely,

Corey

Raspbian Stretch support is still in testing/beta. Recommend you install on Jessie.

The problem above however should be resolved now.

It works now, thanks! Thank you very much. I didn't know I was on Stretch--I just grabbed the latest Rasbpian image. I'll use Jessie if I have any more problems.

Thanks again!

@mabus or you can just use the official RetroPie image.

@buzz The main reason I wasn't using the official image is so that I can use the box for multiple purposes--I can launch mate desktop with startx or launch retropie after I've logged in. I'm building a palmtop/portable emulator. If it's pretty easy to set up the official image to do so, maybe I will just use the image--sure beats installing and compiling all the packages.
