Hi Jon,

Currently, PyBOMBS doesn't support installing gr-video-sdl itself. It's a
fairly obscure package (in GR terms) and rarely used. Basically, you'll
need to install libsdl1.2-dev (I think that should be all), but there's no
PyBOMBS recipe for this.

For your case, I would just install this package by hand through your
package manager, then clean the PyBOMBS installation of gnuradio and try
again. With the libsdl1.2-dev installed, GNU Radio should pick up on it and
build gr-video-sdl for you.

In Debian/Ubuntu, just use:
$ sudo apt-get install libsdl1.2-dev
