Hi-- I just wanted to close out this thread, for the benefit of anyone reading the archives in the future.
The problem was solved by following Chris Barker's advice/observation that the files "site-packages/PIL/_imaging*.so" needed to be deleted and then the PIL package rebuilt. That is exactly what I did, and PIL is now working. The wildcard "_imaging*.so" matched the four shared-object files seen in the listing, shown in my earlier post. I deleted those four files and then rebuilt them by executing "python setup.py install" in the Imaging-1.1.7 directory. Apparently, the install script doesn't delete these files if they already exist; unfortunately, they had been linked to a version of libjpeg that didn't work on my box. Deleting and rebuilding the four "_imaging*.so" files allowed the new shared-object files to link to the new version of libjpeg that I had installed, which *does* work on my box. Thanks to Chris, and to Fredrik for his earlier assistance. Hope I haven't clogged up too much bandwidth with my novice-level approach. Mark T.
