Details

Description: solarwolf does not run.

Aborts with this error:
Fatal Python error: (pygame parachute) Segmentation Fault
Aborted


Additional info:
* package version(s)
* config and/or log files etc.

solarwolf 1.5-3, python-pygame 1.9.0-1, Python 2.6.2

The self test of pygame

python -m pygame.tests.__main__

fails with several errors.

Also, I am not able to run some of the examples that come with pygame: a data/ folder seems to be missing in /usr/lib/python2.6/site-packages/pygame/examples/

...
pygame.error: Couldn't open /usr/lib/python2.6/site-packages/pygame/examples/data/arraydemo.bmp

...
Could not load image "/usr/lib/python2.6/site-packages/pygame/examples/data/player1.gif" Couldn't open /usr/lib/python2.6/site-packages/pygame/examples/data/player1.gif

etc.


Steps to reproduce:
Run solarwolf,
Run
python -m pygame.tests.__main__

python -m pygame.examples.aliens

or some of the other examples that come with pygame. The complete list can be obtained by

python -c "import pygame.examples;help(pygame.examples)"

As far as Solarwolf is concerned it appears to be a packaging bug. After i copied the pygame icon files and 'freesansbold.ttf' into /usr/lib/python2.6/site-packages/pygame from the source package, Solarwolf is working.

Hi Jarav,

Sorry for the problems, the problem is with pygame install routines that dont see most of these files, so i had to copy then during the installation procedure. Test with the latest version, things should work for you.

See ya

@dsa: after your message I got finally confused.
Is the bug in pygame or solarwolf package?
Comment by Jagadish R (jarav) - Thursday, 06 August 2009, 08:26 GMT
Ok. Thanks dsa. Waiting for the latest version of pygame.

@Romashka: The bug was in the pygame package.

This was a pygame bug. Solarwolf works nicely now...
Comment by Roman Kyrylych (Romashka) - Thursday, 06 August 2009, 15:37 GMT
So this can be closed now?
BTW, pygame 1.9.1 was released less than 1 hour ago (according to a message I got from SDL mailing list) with many fixes.
Comment by Allan McRae (Allan) - Thursday, 06 August 2009, 16:01 GMT
It can be closed. BTW, python-pygame-1.9.1 is in x86_64 and waiting on an i686 build.
