This is the output i get from emerge -va pygame. I've got SDL as well ass sdl-image, sdl-ttf and sdl-mixer installed. This all happened when upgrading to python-2.4. The reason why i use pygame-1.6 is because >= 1.6 doesn't compile.

Setting LOCALBASE=/usr/ did the trick: LOCALBASE=/usr/ emerge -va pygame Apparently pygame searched for sdl_image etc in /usr/local.
This bug occurs because sdl-config is patched to not output -L on sdl-config --libs. PyGame may be a bit picky here, but IMHO the patch is useless. Can anyone explain the reason for it? In /usr/portage/media-libs/libsdl/files/libsdl-1.2.8-sdl-config.patch it says: ------------ Only output -L -rpath cruft if using a non-standard install location. Makes ABI / cross-compiling easier on the soul. ------------ Why does that make it easier? And why break compatibility and common sense? Every other *-config outputs -L on --libs.
Recently I built pygame-1.6.2 on x86 arch and the problem seemed to be solved. Still having this problem with pygame-1.6 on amd64 arch though. Note that amd64 is the only arch on which pygame-1.6.2 is not marked stable yet. Can anyone confirm that this bug is solved in pygame-1.6.2? And, what is holding pygame-1.6.2 from being marked stable on amd64?
I just experienced the problem with pygame-1.6 on amd64 when trying to emerge monsterz. Using pygame-1.6.2 solved the issue.

I caught a problem in the config_unix.py script where on my system it had figured out exactly the right place to look for SDL_ttf.h but for some reason the code had g litched out and was looking for libSDL_ttf.so in...nowhere...the variable that stored the directory to look for that file was empty. Maybe just a patch to config_unix.py ?
"LOCALBASE=/usr/ emerge -va pygame" let pygame 1.6 install on amd64, however pydance fails for me (at runtime) with an error suggesting pygame atill can't find the libraries or something: sdl-ttf is quite definately installed. $ pydance 0 joystick(s) found. pydance 1.0.3 <pyddr-discuss@icculus.org> - irc.freenode.net/#pyddr W: Psyco optimizing compiler not found.

i think games herd might be interested to see this or reproduce it?
I encounted this bug too on my amd64 system, with pygame 1.6. Emerging the unstable (~amd64) version, which is 1.7.1 at this time, solved this problem, as it found all the .so's that are listed as not found (as per the original posters comments), as thus games that require the other parts, work now. It would seem that 1.6.2 needs to be marked stable on amd64, to solve the problem? (others in this thread have said 1.6.2 solves this problem).
pygame-1.6.2 is marked stable, for me the problem is solved
indeed, can be closed
