Esta respuesta SO proporciona el enlace simbólico correcto. Debe eliminar el /usr/include/linux/videodev.hque creó, ya que está vinculando a la versión incorrecta del archivo de encabezado.

sudo apt-get install libv4l-dev
cd / usr / include / linux
sudo ln -s ../libv4l1-videodev.h videodev.h

Pygame necesita algunas dependencias:

sudo apt-get install python-dev libsdl-image1.2-dev libsdl-mixer1.2-dev libsdl-ttf2.0-dev   libsdl1.2-dev libsmpeg-dev python-numpy subversion libportmidi-dev ffmpeg libswscale-dev libavformat-dev libavcodec-dev

Si no desea instalarlos, instale el paquete precompilado:

sudo apt-get install python-pygame

¿La versión de pygame en los repositorios ( python-pygame ) es demasiado antigua? Si no, deberías intentar instalar eso primero.

De lo contrario, use python-pip para instalar pygame:

sudo pip install pygame

^{¿Por qué usar pip sobre easy_install?}
