how to install xlibs-dev on Ubuntu 10.04 (lucid)?

I'm trying to install V4L2 on Ubuntu 10.04 (lucid) that require the xlibs-devinstalled. I tried: sudo apt-get install xlibs-dev but it returns:

Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree       
Reading state information... Done
Package xlibs-dev is not available, but is referred to by another package.
This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or
is only available from another source
E: Package xlibs-dev has no installation candidate

then I tried:

First attempt: attemp:sudo apt-get install xorg-dev;

Second attemp: sudo apt-get update and sudo apt-get upgrade;

All failed. same install xorg-dev,updated and upgraded my packages, can't to install the xlibs-dev library. how to fix this? thanks in advance.

The command

 apt-cache search xlib dev

suggest you to 

 aptitude install libx11-dev

And your distribution might have V4L2. Consider installing the v4l2ucp package...

PS. There is no s letter in xlib because it is one library, not several!
