Answering my own question, to some extent, I tried following these
instructions, and all was fine until the very end, where the "sudo
python setup.py install" produced:
Installed /Library/Python/2.5/site-packages/pygame-1.8.0rc3-py2.5-
macosx-10.5-i386.egg

Requirement.parse('pygame==1.8.0rc3')
There seem to be two errors here, the "Couldn't find index page" one
and then the last one, which apparently was fatal, as no further
output appeared after that.
Anybody have a clue what these errors mean, and what I can do about it?
Thanks,
