Re: Cannot install pygame using pip

Any reason you're not using: https://www.archlinux.org/packages/comm … on-pygame/ ? In any case, look at/install dependencies of that package.

Also please edit your post and wrap the command outputs in [ code  ] [ /code ] tags without the spaces.

Re: Cannot install pygame using pip

Because i use pip...
If you use pacman, it will be installed to the system directory, but I usually just install it to my user directory.

Re: Cannot install pygame using pip

Well depending on what you do this might be prefered, but the rest of the answer doesn't change anyway, you need to install the relevant system dependencies regardless of what you do (... these aren't strictly python deps and are thus not inherently handled by pip)

See the (build)deps for the arch pygame package, or use wheels.

y0s1, this is the second thread where you have been asked to edit your post and use code tags. Ignoring moderators is not a good idea.
