You have no idea how much I appreciate your information. My pleasure. By the way: It would be quite easy to install it yourself, too. Here's how: If you use KDE, click on the start-menu-button and go to System/ControlCenter(YaST) there. You're asked for your root-password. Enter it and YaST2 appears (it is SuSE's graphical installation tool). Click on Software/Software installation. After a while a search-field appears. Enter "python-pygame" there and click on "search". It should be shown in the right window. Click on the rectangle left of it and press "keep changes" (or "ok" or so) in the right corner at the bottom. You should be asked to insert some CD/DVD then. Do it, wait a while and pygame should have been installed. It is really not much more difficult than on Windows. See you H. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list

Thank you very much. A buddy installed SUSE 10 in Dec. for me so I shall ask him to look for rpm which I understand from your post includes pygame.

I only googled pygame and not SUSE. The next post says it is already included so I will ask my programmer buddy to help me. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list

Are you asking for advice how to install pygame on SuSE 10 ? Well, that's easy: python-pygamerpm comes with SuSE. Just install it with YaST2; the additional packages it needs (like libSDL) are installed automatically then. So you don't have to download any packages from www.pygame.org. Another hint: If sound in pygame doesn't work, try export SDL_AUDIODRIVER=alsa right before starting your script. H. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list

I don't use SUSE myself, but the first hit on Google for "pygame SUSE" goes into the Novell site, and SUSE 10.1 appears to include pygame 1.7.1release14 (or at least, you should be able to download and install the RPM from Novell) -- Gabriel Genellina -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
Pygame Q (linux) beginner
Running 2.4.1 Python (learning) Running SUSE Linux 10 Am learning from a new books that mostly deals with windows python and Pygames called "Game Programming" by Randy Harris (2007) His books references Python 2.4.2 and Pygame 1.7.1 with these comments: "If you are using a Linux machine, you probably won't have the simple installer that came with the windows version. Follow the instructions at http://pygame.org/install. You may have to run a couple of scripts to make everything work, but just follow the directions and you will be fine." Could anybody suggest or make a helpful comment in view of what information I have supplied. At Chapter 5 is where the Pygame module is introduced so I have a little time before I have to figure out what I have to download and install. Thanks very much in advance for any direction.
