 Hi,



 I'm very new to linux (2 days!) but have been using Python on windows for a

 am having all sorts of trouble following the readme, I get a ton of errors
 when trying to run the build.py. Mostly cannot find directory errors, but
 there are others thrown in for good measure.

Use prepackaged version of PIL if you can.
apt-get is your friend
Or for command line challenged, Synaptic.

The general instruction on installing:

 oh, and are you sure there is not an existing Ubuntu package for PIL?

$ sudo apt-get install python-imaging

iirc, ubuntu-desktop uses it, so it's installed by default on most 
Ubuntu systems.

[Image-SIG] Newb help... can't install the PIL extension libraries

2007-01-25 Thread Paul 
Hi,

 

I'm very new to linux (2 days!) but have been using Python on windows
for a few weeks now. I would like to install PIL on my linux (ubuntu)
machine but am having all sorts of trouble following the readme, I get a
ton of errors when trying to run the build.py. Mostly cannot find
directory errors, but there are others thrown in for good measure.

 

This is my first attempt at importing a library within linux.

 

I unzipped the tar file into my user space...

 

/home/paul/Python/ExtensionLibraries

 

which I created myself. This is where I'm going wrong I presume. The
readme said that I could create my own directory, so I'm confused.

 

Should I unzip it  build it somewhere else?

 

Any help greatly appreciated, many thanks.

 

PMF
