  • 0

I am relatively new to linux and am trying to install the pygame dev environment for python. When I run the setup.py it says that I need to install the following dependencies, one of which I found and installed (SDL). However, the others have been more elusive.

Hunting dependencies...
sh: smpeg-config: command not found
WARNING: "smpeg-config" failed!
SDL     : found 1.2.14
FONT    : not found
IMAGE   : not found
MIXER   : not found
SMPEG   : not found
PNG     : not found
JPEG    : not found
SCRAP   : found
PORTMIDI: not found
PORTTIME: not found

If you could give me some guidance I would appreciate it.

Thank you.

    For debian, there is a pre-built package available. See here. You should be able to install it with apt-get or something similar.
