I've been trying to install the Python Image Library (PIL) on my Mac
OSX Leopard laptop, but have been running into some difficulties.
I've built the library, using the included setup.py script. The build
summary checks out ok, and sounds the option libraries to all be
found. I grabbed both libjpeg and freetype2 using fink.
--------------------------------------------------------------------
PIL 1.1.6 BUILD SUMMARY
--------------------------------------------------------------------
version 1.1.6
platform darwin 2.5.1 (r251:54863, Jan 13 2009, 10:26:13)
[GCC 4.0.1 (Apple Inc. build 5465)]
--------------------------------------------------------------------
--- TKINTER support ok
--- JPEG support ok
--- ZLIB (PNG/ZIP) support ok
--- FREETYPE2 support ok
--------------------------------------------------------------------
However, I then run the included self test, and 1 out of 57 tests
fails. I receive an IOError. Specifically:
*****************************************************************
Failure in example: _info(Image.open("Images/lena.jpg"))
from line #24 of selftest.testimage
Exception raised:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "./doctest.py", line 499, in _run_examples_inner
exec compile(source, "<string>", "single") in globs
File "<string>", line 1, in <module>
File "./selftest.py", line 22, in _info
im.load()
File "PIL/ImageFile.py", line 180, in load
d = Image._getdecoder(self.mode, d, a, self.decoderconfig)
File "PIL/Image.py", line 375, in _getdecoder
raise IOError("decoder %s not available" % decoder_name)
IOError: decoder jpeg not available
1 items had failures:
1 of 57 in selftest.testimage
***Test Failed*** 1 failures.
*** 1 tests of 57 failed.
I've followed all of the installation instructions exactly. The build
summary reported everything was "ok". What could be the problem here.
Libjpeg-6b is not accessible?
Thank you for any insight you can provide!!
