Install pygame in Ubuntu Mate

[pkgAstronaut]

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:
