how to install pygame package?

[zaperaj]

Im working in red hat linux 9.0. I've downloaded the pygame package
but i dont know how to install it. If anybody has the time to detail
the steps sequentially... thanx!

P.S. I've downloaded both the tar and the rpm packages...

First you can try the rpm package:

su
(give the root password)
rpm -i <the-package-you-downloaded.rpm>

Or with the tar package:

tar xzvf <the-package-you-downloaded.tar.gz>
cd <pygame-x.x.x> (the name of the created directory)
../configure
make
su
(give the root password)
make install

HTH.

There seems to be some problem. For the tar version, initial steps
execute OK, but after typing:
[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?

Sorry, instead of ./configure do this:

python setup.py install

It's a python package after all

But first I would recommend reading http://pygame.org/install.html
