Ah! I understand. In the linux world, the first place you should look for a package is NOT on the program's website. if you want pygame on SUSE, check SUSE's website (or package manager) first before you check pygame.org. Similarly if you wanted pygame on Debian you would check debian's package manager first. Pygame on Fedora, check fedora's package manager first. Gentoo, check gentoo's ebuild system first. The only reasons you should be downloading the linux source code directly from pygame.org and compiling it yourself are: A) Your Linux distribution doesn't have pygame B) Your Linux distribution only has an old version and you need a newer version C) You want to change the pygame source code (for example to add features or fix bugs) D) You like doing things the hard way ;) --- James Paige
