Description Shane Hathaway 2007-10-06 19:49:40 UTC 
The current Freevo will not start with the combination of AMD64 and Python 2.5 due to a pygame bug.  The exception says "ValueError: Buffer length does not equal format and resolution size".  See http://www.mail-archive.com/freevo-users@lists.sourceforge.net/msg13833.html

The pygame ebuild needs to be enhanced with this patch in order to run correctly with Python 2.5:

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. emerge freevo
2. freevo

I thought it might speed up the process if I posted the working ebuild. 

I tested it, and it works for me (amd64).

Hello,

This has been fixed in the upcoming pygame 1.8 release.

Please upgrade to pygame 1.8 when it comes out shortly.

cheers,

it has been released, lets wait a few days for the python herd to do its thing
Comment 6 Olivier Crete (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2008-04-09 04:44:51 UTC 
1.8.0 is in the tree
Comment 7 Renan T. Inácio 2008-07-16 04:29:29 UTC 
The r1 ebuild does not compile on amd64 using Python 2.4, complaining that Py_ssize_t is not defined.

pygame-1.8.0 compiles fine though.
