I *think* this is caused by a mismatch between jpeg-6a and jpeg-7 (or 8 or whatever the latest is) -- i.e. your compiler picks up the header files for one of them, but when you run the program, the runtime linker pulls in the other one and gets confused. I know absolutely nothing about the Mac OS X build & execution environment, though, so I don't know where to look for that conflict. The comments to this blog post contain several workarounds that may or may not solve your problem: http://jetfar.com/libjpeg-and-python-imaging-pil-on-snow-leopard/ but for this non-Mac user, compiling stuff on Mac OS X seems to be about as fragile as getting audio stuff to work on Linux :) (This mail list is full of competent Mac hackers, though, so hopefully one of them has more useful advice) </F> _______________________________________________ Image-SIG maillist - Image-SIG@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/image-sig
