So I tried the Macports option and it started to look good, but then I got:
---> Installing py26-pil @1.1.7_1 ---> Activating py26-pil @1.1.7_1 Error: Target org.macports.activate returned: Image error: /opt/local/ Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.6/bin/pilconvert.py already exists and does not belong to a registered port. Unable to activate port py26-pil. Use 'port -f activate py26-pil' to force the activation. Log for py26-pil is at: /opt/local/var/macports/logs/ _opt_local_var_macports_sources_rsync.macports.org_release_ports_python_py26- pil/main.log Error: Status 1 encountered during processing. To report a bug, see <http://guide.macports.org/#project.tickets> Ben-Jammin-MacBook:~ martinek$ port -f activate py26-pil Warning: Failed to open Portfile from registry for py26-pil @1.1.7_1 ---> Activating py26-pil Error: port activate failed: sqlite error: attempt to write a readonly database (8) Ben-Jammin-MacBook:~ martinek$ sudo port install py26-pil Sudo didn't work either :-( I am not even sure what DB is being discussed there... I also tried reinstalling PIL after the failure of MacPorts and something might have worked here. I don't get the same problem at the python prompt trying import _imaging Unfortunately Django/Pinax doesn't seem to see this after reactivating the ENV and restarting the server: BLurghh!!! Is it worth trying to remake the virtualenv I am working with? Would that help or is the problem still up the stream? -Ben On Aug 31, 11:49 am, keynesiandreamer <keynesiandr...@gmail.com> wrote: > Thanks Bill and Mathieu! > > I will try the Mac port option first, in fact I did look at it last > night probably around 1am or so... > > I treied rebuilding the virtual env I was using as well just to > verify, but the problem seem higher up the stream and Bill indicated. > I will take a look for the ld.conf equiv in OSX at lunch today. > > Thanks! > Ben > > On Aug 31, 10:20 am, Mathieu Leduc-Hamel <marra...@gmail.com> wrote: > > > > > To work with PIL and other librairies a little bit weird and difficult > > to install the best way is to install Macport and after that: > > > port install py26-pil > > > and you'll need to use the python of the macport installation: > > > $ /opt/local/bin/python2.6 > > > It's the samething on linux, i'm alway using the PIL package from my > > distro... > > > On Tue, Aug 31, 2010 at 7:10 PM, Bill Freeman <ke1g...@gmail.com> wrote: > > > This sounds more like libjpeg isn't on the library load path, a > > > system, rather than python, setting. > > > > I haven't done this with a Mac, but PIL has been troublesome on *nix > > > servers for us as well. > > > > The common problems for us don't sound like your problem.
