Thanks, and sorry, what I meant to say is that PIP is really easy to install on windows but a bit of a trial on Mac.
There are loads of blog entries around, which perhaps reflects the trouble that people are having. Many of these entries are highly version specific and have a less than unity probability of success (I tried three before I managed to get things working). Judging by the comment on most blogs other people are in the same boat as I. FWIW this is what eventually worked for me: Based on: http://rezmuh.sixceedinc.com/2009/04/setting-up-pil-with-libjpeg-on-mac-os-x-leopard.html I got and installed MacPorts-1.8.2-10.6-SnowLeopard.dmg from: http://distfiles.macports.org/MacPorts/ Then in Imaging-1.1.7: In setup.py changed the JPEG_ROOT to: JPEG_ROOT = "/opt/local/lib/libjpeg.dylib" Then: sudo python setup.py build --force sudo python setup.py install I would not guarantee this will work for others! Thanks for the help and thanks for such a great product as PIL Regards, Paul. FWIW I s On 7 May 2010, at 16:05, Yury V.
