Failure to install PIL on a Linux server
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.

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.

Setup ===== - debian 3.1 (sarge) on a UML (user mode linux) dedicated ZOPE instance
apt-get install python2.3-imaging ready.

Tino,
apt-get install python2.3-imaging
ready.
Thanks anyway, but you probably didn't read the last section of my mail. Unfortunately, I *have* to find a way to do it manually. FYI: It has to do with the way I set up Zope and various other stuff around it. Unfortunately, back then I needed a very upfront version of Zope as yet unavailable through the debian package system, so I chose to set it up manually; this led to the need for a particular python version not available through the debian package system, so I set it up manually. Now the customer needs PIL on this manual setup. Albeit I tried to apt-get it, it didn't integrate at all with the other stuff. Needlesds to say I don't want to setup another python version on the same server, as mass storage capacity *is* an issue here). Doing it right just now would be a hazard to a running server; I'm going to wait for a necessary release change and then maybe set it up the debian way. For now, I need to go the way manually (or rather by foot =:) -- So long, Dominik

Hm. You can perfectly run a source build of Zope on package-python from debian. Testing has 2.3.5-6, which is perfectly usable. Thats why I'm using debian too - to save me from all the hassle with source depencies while using source where I really want it :-)

Ah and stable has 2.3.5 too. Btw.
