Modern PIL versions lack this decoder only when the jpeg library was missing when PIL was installed.
Please read the PIL installation instructions about the prerequisite libraries, PIL needs for full support.
Sorry, I guess I wasn't clear enough. I followed those instruction originally, and got errors. I posted them here, and was referred to the page http://www.zope.org/Members/regebro/PIL_zope for additional information. I followed those steps exactly, including the tests for the jpeg library and the corresponding changes to the Makefile when compiling PIL. After these additional steps, I got the errors I noted above. My question was why, even *after* following the steps to ensure that the jpeglib was correctly installed and verifying that the library is indeed in /usr/local/lib, PIL is still not able to find/use it. ___/ / __/ / ____/ Ed Leafe http://leafe.com/ http://foxcentral.net
