What is the difference between the libraries built from the source and the Mac OS X binaries, out of curiosity?
Pygame is looking for framework versions of the SDL libraries, but you have built and installed them as standard Unix-style libraries. There is probably some option in the build process for the SDL libraries to get them built as frameworks. But if prebuilt binaries of them are available, it's almost certainly easier and equally effective to just install those. -- Greg
