I am trying to compile the following code which has the headers:

#include <SDL2/SDL.h>
#include <SDL2_image/SDL_image.h>

However after running the following makefile:

g++ -std=c++11 src/main.cpp -lSDL2 -lSDL2_image

I get the following error:

fatal error: SDL2_image/SDL_image.h: No such file or directory
#include <SDL2_image/SDL_image.h>

Any suggestions? Not entirely sure about my installation of SDL_image. I am running this on Ubuntu.
