[pygame] Installing from source



Hi there.

New to pygame here. Running on SuSE Linux 9.0, and I didn't see an RPM for it so thought installing from source would be the only way to go.

Downloaded the tarball and followed the instructions: "python setup.py help". Got a message "No setup file exists, running 'config.py'" - fine enough. Result:

Hunting dependencies...
sh: line 1: smpeg-config: command not found
WARNING: "smpeg-config" failed!
SDL     : found 1.2.7
FONT    : not found
IMAGE   : not found
MIXER   : not found
SMPEG   : not found
NUMERIC : found 23.1

Warning, some of the pygame dependencies were not found. Pygame can still compile and install, but games that depend on those missing dependencies will not run. Would you like to continue the configuration?

So I said "no". Just wondering if someone could tell me where I should look to find FONT, IMAGE, MIXER, and SMPEG - are these python modules or Linux-specific RPM's?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Grant.
