Hi all I'm aware that PIL is not easy to install, primarily due to the prerequisites. I've studied and applied as well as possible http://mail.zope.org/pipermail/zope/2002-December/128364.html and http://www.zope.org/Members/regebro/PIL_zope/, both of which seem slightly medieval: the setup and test processes are very different today. I didn't find any other information pertaining to my problem, so I considered this posting. I hope I'm on the right list here. Setup ===== - debian 3.1 (sarge) on a UML (user mode linux) dedicated ZOPE instance - /usr/src/Imaging-1.1.5 (from Imaging-1.1.5.tar.gz, 2005-03-28) - /usr/src/freetype-2.1.10 (from freetype-2.1.10.tar.bz2, 2005-06-12) - /usr/src/jpeg-6b (from jpegsrc.v6b.tar.gz, 2005-03-28) Symptom ======= root@zope-server:/usr/src/Imaging-1.1.5# python setup.py build_ext -i |running build_ext |-------------------------------------------------------------------- |PIL 1.1.5 BUILD SUMMARY |-------------------------------------------------------------------- |version 1.1.5 |platform linux2 2.3.5 (#1, Apr 22 2005, 15:12:06) | [GCC 3.3.5 (Debian 1:3.3.5-8)] |-------------------------------------------------------------------- |*** TKINTER support not available |--- JPEG support ok |--- ZLIB (PNG/ZIP) support ok |--- FREETYPE2 support ok |-------------------------------------------------------------------- |To add a missing option, make sure you have the required |library, and set the corresponding ROOT variable in the |setup.py script. | |To check the build, run the selftest.py script. root@zope-server:/usr/src/Imaging-1.1.5# python selftest.py |***************************************************************** |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 ? | File "./selftest.py", line 21, 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 328, in _getdecoder | raise IOError("decoder %s not available" % decoder_name) |IOError: decoder jpeg not available |1 items had failures: | 1 of 55 in selftest.testimage |***Test Failed*** 1 failures. |*** 1 tests of 55 failed.

How can I install it otherwise? READMEs coming along with the source are not expanding on alternatives. Non-topics ========== I'm aware that debian has a ZOPE-Package, even a PIL-Package, but there are various reasons not to use them here, but rather to setup the whole stuff manually.
