Error when running prereqs file for ubuntu

Hardware Linux
1

Hello,

I am going through the guide for setting up the build environment for linux/ubuntu. And I get an error regarding pygame when I run the script /install-prereqs-ubuntu.sh…

I am not able to install pygame using pip either. Does anyone have any clue to what I might be missing?

Thanks,
