[pygame] Installing Pygame on linux
Hi Folks,
sorry if this is off topic, but I thought you pygamers would be the best
folk to ask.
Im running mandrake 10 and trying to install pygame.
When I run setup.py I get the following error:
Hunting dependencies...
SDL : found 1.2.7
FONT : not found
IMAGE : not found
MIXER : not found
SMPEG : found 0.4.4
NUMERIC : found 23.1
I have installed SDL_mixer and SDL_image from the links on the pygame
website, in /usr/local/SDL_image-1.2.3 and /usr/local/SDL_mixer-1.2.5 .
I also installed SDL into /usr/local/SDL-1.2.7 and linked sdl-config to
/usr/local/bin/ . I can't even find SDL_font anywhere :(
I edited my /etc/ld.so.conf to include the lib files for all SDL
libraries, here it is
/usr/X11R6/lib
/usr/lib/qt3/lib
/usr/lib
/usr/local/SDL-1.2.7/lib
/usr/local/SDL_image-1.2.3/lib
/usr/local/SDL_mixer-1.2.5/lib
and ran ldconfig.
I suspect the problem may be related to mandrake already having mixer,
image, SDL and ttf2 installed as RPM's, but uninstalling them looks like
it will cause havoc with KDE (among other things).
I'd really appreciate it if someone can help me out here, Im not a linux
newbie so I should understand 'technical' info too.
Kind regards
Nick.
