Ah, thank you. I'm new to this, but I'm under the impression that this package name isn't correct. I had already tried:
sudo apt-get install libgnomecanvas2.0-dev but OPAM reported that there was no such package. So I tried a few other things, I think I installed: sudo apt-get install libgonecanvas2-0 which seemed to work, and I mistakenly assumed would get the -dev package as well. So I just now did sudo apt-get install libgnomecanvas2-dev NB: there is no ".0". This worked and Kenichi's Universe package is now working fine on ubuntu.
