For RedHat I needed to install yum install SDL-devel-1.2.14-7.el6_7.1.x86_64

Answer 4

yes @Bartlomiej Lewandowski, you were right.I also faced the same problem and came here to resolve it. I did not download any newer version as apt-get install was giving the message that this is the newest version.

I just renamed my file pygame.py to some other random name. It is working fine now. So the problem was we named our file as pygame.py, Which is restricted in pygame module, I am not sure. But its working fine now.

Thanks Bartlomiej Lewandowski once again.
