I'm unable to build PIL with JPEG and PNG support in Ubuntu 11.04. I posted this to http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1751455 on Friday but have received no responses.
We build our Python webservices in a virtualenv with all external packages stored locally. This gives us reproducible results on a variety of Linux distros, Mac, and Windows, both for developer machines and production boxes. Here's a repro case in a clean virtual machine. $ sudo apt-get install python-virtualenv $ virtualenv --no-site-packages ~/venv $ source ~/venv/bin/activate $ mkdir -p ~/PIL ~/temp/site-packages $ export PYTHONPATH=~/temp/site-packages/ $ cd ~/PIL $ wget http://effbot.org/downloads/Imaging-1.1.7.tar.gz $ sudo apt-get build-dep python-imaging # sets up zlib1g-dev, libfreetype6-dev, libjpeg62-dev, liblcms1-dev, ... $ easy_install -v --install-dir ~/temp/site-packages --find-links ~/PIL\ --allow-hosts=None --always-unzip Imaging ... -------------------------------------------------------------------- PIL 1.1.7 SETUP SUMMARY -------------------------------------------------------------------- version 1.1.7 platform linux2 2.7.1+ (r271:86832, Apr 11 2011, 18:05:24) [GCC 4.5.2] -------------------------------------------------------------------- --- TKINTER support available *** JPEG support not available *** ZLIB (PNG/ZIP) support not available *** FREETYPE2 support not available --- LITTLECMS support available -------------------------------------------------------------------- $ identify basketball.png flowers.jpg logo.gif basketball.png PNG 340x340 340x340+0+0 8-bit DirectClass 157KB 0.000u 0:00.000 flowers.jpg[1] JPEG 500x333 500x333+0+0 8-bit DirectClass 66.5KB 0.020u 0:00.019 logo.gif[2] GIF 276x110 276x110+0+0 8-bit PseudoClass 256c 8.56KB 0.000u 0:00.000 $ python Python 2.7.1+ (r271:86832, Apr 11 2011, 18:05:24) [GCC 4.5.2] on linux2 Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information. >>> import Image >>> img = Image.open('basketball.png') >>> img.load() Traceback (most recent call last): File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module> File "/home/georger/temp/site-packages/PIL-1.1.7-py2.7-linux-i686.egg/ImageFile.py", line 189, in load d = Image._getdecoder(self.mode, d, a, self.decoderconfig) File "/home/georger/temp/site-packages/PIL-1.1.7-py2.7-linux-i686.egg/Image.py", line 385, in _getdecoder raise IOError("decoder %s not available" % decoder_name) IOError: decoder zip not available >>> img = Image.open('flowers.jpg') >>> img.load() Traceback (most recent call last): File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module> File "/home/georger/temp/site-packages/PIL-1.1.7-py2.7-linux-i686.egg/ImageFile.py", line 189, in load d = Image._getdecoder(self.mode, d, a, self.decoderconfig) File "/home/georger/temp/site-packages/PIL-1.1.7-py2.7-linux-i686.egg/Image.py", line 385, in _getdecoder raise IOError("decoder %s not available" % decoder_name) IOError: decoder jpeg not available Ideas? -- /George V.
