[SOLVED] Can't build from source...

[L337_K3y5]

I'm trying to build pygame from source (I know its in the repo, just making a statement) and I do everything like normal...I untar it using tar zxf browse into the directory on the desktop, then when I try using ./configure it gives me this error message*:
I think something has gone wrong, cause I used to be able to do this. Also, just for a question, my update manager where it says at the top how long ago it has been updated is wrong, how do I "refresh" the update manager?
Also, sorry for the bad picture, don't know how the top of the window blurred in like that. I uploaded another, but its still the same

Is there a configure script in the pygame-1.8.0release directory? Does it have the correct permissions? Take a look at/post the output of

ls -l

in that directory.

[tamoneya]

first of all make sure the file is there by running

ls -l

Typically however the problem when you get this error is that the file doesnt have executable permissions

sudo chmod +x configure

This is what I get from doing the code:

Typically however the problem when you get this error is that the file doesnt have executable permissions

sudo chmod +x configure

This is what I get:

chmod: cannot access `configure': No such file or directory

[tamoneya]

it appears that this is compiled in python like this:

python config.py

If that still doesnt work take a look in the install.html file. It appears that this is compiled different that most programs.

If you get compiler errors during install, doublecheck
the compiler flags in the "Setup" file.

Also, whoah, thats some wierd crap, never used the setup before and in terminal it brought me up to Image Majick or somthing.
