Fair point. I didn't understand what I was looking for in the way of JPEG libraries and was reluctant to risk damaging some unrelated files.
I have found a reference in http://effbot.org/zone/pil-decoder-jpeg-not-available.htm. Here it says that for PIL 1.1.5 I should change the setup.py file so that JPEG_ROOT points to the directory where the libjpeg library is installed. In setup.py there is a comment:- # Use None to look for the libraries in well-known library locations. I'm not sure where the jpeg libraries are (or what to look for). As I said in before, the only files I can find which look likely are /usr/lib/libjpeg.so.62.0.0, and a symbolic link /usr/lib/libjpeg.so.62 I would have though that /usr/lib is a well known library location. Nevertheless I tried changing the line JPEG_ROOT = None to JPEG_ROOT = "/usr/lib" and reran setup.py. The output was [EMAIL PROTECTED] Imaging-1.1.5]# python setup.py install running install running build running build_py running build_ext -------------------------------------------------------------------- PIL 1.1.5 BUILD SUMMARY -------------------------------------------------------------------- version 1.1.5 platform linux2 2.3.4 (#1, Feb 2 2005, 12:11:53) [GCC 3.4.2 20041017 (Red Hat 3.4.2-6.fc3)] -------------------------------------------------------------------- --- TKINTER support ok *** JPEG support not available --- ZLIB (PNG/ZIP) support ok --- FREETYPE2 support ok -------------------------------------------------------------------- To add a missing option, make sure you have the required library, and set the corresponding ROOT variable in the setup.py script. I must have jpeg libraries somewhere, as other appliations (eg GIMP and gThumb) will show jpeg images. But if they're not in /usr/lib, and the locate command doesn't show any other likely candidates, how do I go about finding them? And if I do find them, is it literally just a case of setting the JPEG_ROOT variable?
