PINE64

Hi all, I have been trying to install pygame using pip and have been unsuccessful so far. Has anyone had success. SO far I have installed build-dep python-pygame and libfreetype6-dev dependancies based on stack overflow searches.

My latest error is:

Code:
"Exception:

    mkdir(name, mode)

I placed your log in a code block; please do this yourself from now on.

thanks

**Update**
I was able to get pygame to successfully install tonight. First I updated pip. Oddly tis would only complete using sudo. Just using the pip command woud have it claim it was up to date and then immediately tell me I should update.

Code:
sudo -H pip install --upgrade pip

Then I was able to install pygame.

Code:
sudo -H pip install pygame

Best I can tell the system did not like installing with a straight pip command and required sudo for this.

Now to try and get PyQt.
