Christian,
I think that's a genius solution. Thank you! My hesitation in installing
Ubuntu has been pin muxing, but it's worth the difficulty.
Thanks again,
Arthur

I had success with Pygame on the Beaglebone Rev. 5 using the Joystick
module, however I used Ubuntu as Angstrom was ill suited to... Well
anything I wanted to use it for. Have you considered changing OS?
Cheers,

Subject: [pygame] Installation on Beaglebone Black w Angstrom Linux
I've been trying to install Pygame on the Beaglebone Black running
Angstrom Linux with a Cortex-A8 processor. Although the online opkg
repository lists python-pygame as available for arm7a architecture,
searching via the beaglebone does not find python-pygame. After installing
all of the dependencies listed on the online opkg repository, except for
libsmpeg, I tried to install from source. However, the installation can't
find libsdl-mixer, which I have already installed (v libsdl-mixer-1.2-0 -
1.2.11-r0.1) into /usr/lib.
Installation output:
root@beaglebone:~/Desktop/pygame-1.9.1release# LOCALBASE=/usr/lib python
setup.py install
WARNING, No Setup File Exists, Running config.py
Using UNIX configuration...

sh: smpeg-config: command not found

FONT: not found
IMAGE : not found
MIXER : not found
SMPEG : not found

I tried to set LOCALBASE, as suggested in the documentation, but this did
not affect the installation output. I only hope to use the sound mixer
portions of pygame. Can someone help me install it on the Beaglebone Black?
Many thanks,
Arthur
