Ah! I understand. In the linux world, the first place you should look 
for a package is NOT on the program's website. if you want pygame on 
SUSE, check SUSE's website (or package manager) first before you check 
pygame.org. Similarly if you wanted pygame on Debian you would check 
debian's package manager first. Pygame on Fedora, check fedora's 
package manager first. Gentoo, check gentoo's ebuild system first.

The only reasons you should be downloading the linux source code 
directly from pygame.org and compiling it yourself are:

A)  Your Linux distribution doesn't have pygame

B)  Your Linux distribution only has an old version and you need a newer 
version

C)  You want to change the pygame source code (for example to add 
features or fix bugs)

D)  You like doing things the hard way ;)
