Whenever I try rendering fonts with SDL_ttf I get the error message "SDL_ttf render failed".
I have installed SDL-1.2 and pygame-1.5.6 and have upgraded to SDL_ttf-2.0.6
and freetype-2.1.4 (latest version, had 2.1.3)
I am running Redhat 9(i686).
Even after upgrading SDL_ttf and freetype, I still get the same message.

Subject: Re: [pygame] SDL_ttf render failed
I would like to be able to use true type fonts with pygame.
I tried running the example script 'fonty.py' that comes with the
pygame documentation but I get the error message "SDL_ttf render failed".
I also get the same error message if I try using pygame.font.render.
I have installed SDL-1.2, SDL_ttf-2.0.5 and pygame-1.5.6
You need to upgrade to SDL_ttf 2.0.6, and optionally, the latest freetype,
if upgrading SDL_ttf doesn't fix the problem.
