A few weeks ago I asked for advice about which GUI toolkit I should learn, and receved several helpful answers. In the end I went with Tkinter. This was because a) it was already installed on the machines I am most likley to use, b) it is cross platform, and c) it was not as complex as PyGtk - which I tried and was totally unable to decipher.
I am now at the point of trying to import the Python Imaging Library, and I have reached a total standstill. I downloaded a copy of Python Imaging Library 1.1.5 Source Kit from the site http://www.pythonware.com/products/pil/. There did not seem to be any prebuilt binaries suitable for my system (Python 2.2/Fedora Core 1), so I loaded the source code. The instructions said to try 'python setup.py install', followed by more detailed instructions 'If you prefer to know what you're doing'. I do prefer to know what I'm doing, but couldn't understand the following instructions. So I tried the simple route, but it failed with the output shown below. I have absolutely no idea how to proceed. Can anyone point me in the right direction to get over this hurdle? gcc -DNDEBUG -O2 -g -pipe -march=i386 -mcpu=i686 -D_GNU_SOURCE -fPIC -fPIC -I/usr/include/freetype2 -IlibImaging -I/usr/include -I/usr/local/include -I/usr/include/python2.2 -c _imagingtk.c -o build/temp.linux-i686-2.2/_imagingtk.o _imagingtk.c:20:16: tk.h: No such file or directory _imagingtk.c:23: error: syntax error before '*' token _imagingtk.c:31: error: syntax error before "Tcl_Interp" _imagingtk.c:31: warning: no semicolon at end of struct or union _imagingtk.c:32: warning: data definition has no type or storage class _imagingtk.c: In function `_tkinit': _imagingtk.c:37: error: `Tcl_Interp' undeclared (first use in this function) _imagingtk.c:37: error: (Each undeclared identifier is reported only once _imagingtk.c:37: error: for each function it appears in.) _imagingtk.c:37: error: `interp' undeclared (first use in this function) _imagingtk.c:45: error: syntax error before ')' token _imagingtk.c:50: error: `app' undeclared (first use in this function) _imagingtk.c:50: error: syntax error before ')' token _imagingtk.c: At top level: _imagingtk.c:55: warning: parameter names (without types) in function declaration _imagingtk.c:55: error: conflicting types for `TkImaging_Init' _imagingtk.c:23: error: previous declaration of `TkImaging_Init' _imagingtk.c:55: warning: data definition has no type or storage class _imagingtk.c:57: error: syntax error before '&' token error: command 'gcc' failed with exit status 1 -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
