[pygame] Please Help: SDL_ttf render STILL fails

["Matt Ficken" <mattficken@mail.com>]

Whenever I try rendering fonts with SDL_ttf I get the error message "SDL_ttf render failed".

I have installed SDL-1.2 and pygame-1.5.6 and have upgraded to SDL_ttf-2.0.6
and freetype-2.1.4 (latest version, had 2.1.3)

I am running Redhat 9(i686).

Even after upgrading SDL_ttf and freetype, I still get the same message.
