[pygame] Trouble installing PyGame



I installed PyGame in my local directory without being root. The installer told me that I had to add the directory to my Python path, which I did, but other than that there were no error messages.

When I import pygame from Python, I get:

Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<stdin>", line 1, in ?
File "/home/dan/pygame/lib/python2.2/site-packages/pygame/__init__.py", line 83, in ?
from pygame.base import *
ImportError: /home/dan/pygame/lib/python2.2/site-packages/pygame/base.so: undefined symbol: XSetWMProtocols

What's going on?
