I am having trouble installing PIL 1.1.6 on a new MacBook Pro (with
10.5.3). I got the source code version and ran "python setup.py
build_ext -i" and it seemed to go well, passing the self test. But
when I try to run my program, as soon as it calls Image.copy() I get
this trace:
File "/Library/Python/2.5/site-packages/PIL/Image.py", line 718, in copy
self.load()
File "/Library/Python/2.5/site-packages/PIL/ImageFile.py", line 155, in load
self.load_prepare()
File "/Library/Python/2.5/site-packages/PIL/ImageFile.py", line 223,
in load_prepare
self.im = Image.core.new(self.mode, self.size)
File "/Library/Python/2.5/site-packages/PIL/Image.py", line 36, in __getattr__
raise ImportError("The _imaging C module is not installed")
ImportError: The _imaging C module is not installed
And all this happens because at a crucial point in Image.py (line 58),
an import statement fails to find the _imaging module.
I thought setup.py was supposed to take care of that.
Then I find the binary package
"http://www.pythonmac.org/packages/py25-fat/dmg/PIL-1.1.6-py2.5-macosx10.4-2007-05-18.dmg";
from pythonmac.org, and I try that, only to fail with this message:
"You cannot install PIL 1.1.6 on this volume. PIL requires System
Python 2.5 to install."
I don't know how "System Python 2.5" differs from the Python 2.5 that
just came on this new MacBook Pro, the one that starts out
Python 2.5.1 (r251:54863, Feb 4 2008, 21:48:13)
[GCC 4.0.1 (Apple Inc. build 5465)] on darwin
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>>
But the end result is, I am striking out here installing PIL. What can I do?
