Some problem installing pygame

7 New Member
Im working in red hat linux 9.0. I've downloaded the pygame package
but there is some problem while installing it. For the tar version, initial steps execute OK, namely,
[root@localhost root]# tar xzvf pygame-1.7.1release.ta r.gz
[root@localhost root]# cd pygame-1.7.1release
but after this:
[root@localhost pygame-1.7.1release]# ./configure
bash: ./configure: No such file or directory

So i don't hav a configure file? What should i do now?

Hello? Red Hat 9.0! Its like 47 years old! Red Had diched the "Red Hat"- branded distributions a LOOOOONG time ago. Nowdays the comercial version is called RHEL and the free community edition is called Fedora. Currently Fedora 7.
I hope by god you have some special need for exactly that version or else i feel realy sory for you.

Ubuntu is a realy nice modern dist.

And if a am not totaly off, Pygame uses a python install script, Like most python stuff.
try:
[root@localhost pygame-1.7.1release]# python setup.py

I'm trying to install numeric on my MacOS X box using Darwin, with the eventual goal of satisfying all of PyGame's dependencies so I can finally start working on my semester project. I would be using MacPython, except that I can't seem to get its Package Manager to work. Anyway, when I try to install numeric, I get the following error: chriswei% sudo ./setup.py install Password: running install running build

Hi everyone, I'm glad to have found this list. I've written a small script for my own use which, amongst other things, captures mouse click information from a window containing an image. I used Pygame to manage the image window, as it was the easiest way to implement the functionality I needed. The surrounding interface windows (there are two) are constructed with Tkinter. Despite their unholy union, Pygame and Tkinter seem, generally,...

Either that or you're using a bad font and/or type size in cmd.exe. Number two: the screen shot shows an error message: "No local packages or download links found for Pygame".

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>". The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed. This is as boiled down as I can make it. Here is my compilation command: g++-12 -std=c++20 -Wnarrowing bit_field.cpp Here is the code in...

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...

These AIs are designed to manage the entire lifecycle of a software development project—planning, coding, testing, and deployment—without human intervention.
