Tom, We just answered this on this list a few weeks ago. This is not an OS X "problem". You do not need to install a different Python. Installing PIL from pythonmac.org may or may not help; I personally distrust using pre-packaged repositories that depend on non-Apple Python unless you know what you're doing (and you don't).
Your problem is that you are using Fink; my advice is to remove the whole /sw tree, and rid yourself of dependence on Fink. Once you've removed Fink, PIL installs just fine with: sudo python setup.py install Bill > Tom Wylie wrote: > > I want to install Pil but I keep getting the following error: > > you need to tell us OS, Python version, how you are trying to install > it, etc, etc. > > > > ld: in /sw/lib/libxml2.2.dylib, file is not of required architecture for > > however, this looks like an OS-X issue. > > > Any ideas?
