Hey everyone, I'm having some trouble displaying PIL image objects in a Tkinter window, and I'm looking for help. The function PIL.ImageTk.PhotoImage fails and crashes python, displaying the following (unhelpful) error message in the terminal:
alloc: invalid block: 0x708338: b0 0 0 Abort trap I have attached a quick program which should demonstrate the problem (replace 'ex.jpg' with any image which you have). I have searched the internet for help and haven't found a solution. Moreover, I tried running some sample scripts found in tutorials online, and they fail in the same manner. This leads me to believe that there's a bug in PIL, or a problem with my installation, which leads to this incompatibility. I am running python 2.6.2 on Mac OS 10.5. I installed everything from source using Macports. My Tcl/Tk version is 8.5.6, and my PIL version is 1.1.6. For what it's worth, this also happens on my Python 2.5 installation. A python-help volunteer suggested downgrading my Tcl/Tk installation from 8.5 to 8.4, which seems a little weird, since 8.5 has been stable since December 2007. (Also, downgrading things using Macports is so complicated that I haven't succeeding in doing it yet.) He directed me to this list for more knowledgeable help. Can anyone with PIL familiarity tell me what might be causing this error? Or say if there is any reason to believe that Tcl 8.4 might be more compatible? Thank you for any help you can give. Tom
