Yes, I have read this. I don't think I really know what i'm looking for in step 2, which is why I believe I can't really accomplish step 3. If I query RPM, it tells me I already have "libjpeg.so.6" installed. I this the same as the jpeglib described in step 2? If not, where would I find "jpeglib"? I believe one of the readme's I read said that the jpeg libs that come standard with RedHat would be fine (I have RH 7.3). So I believe if I understand where me jpeg libs are in step 2, I can point at them when I make my imaging lib in step 3, and then everything should be fine, right? Can anyone offer a suggestion? --dave

I'm desperately trying to get PIL going under Zope, so I can run the Photo and Photo Folder products.

Have you read http://www.zope.org/Members/regebro/PIL_zope/ ?

Everything seems to be working fine as long as I stick to .gif images-- I can create a photo folder, add photo docs, pregenerate thumbnails, etc.

However, it breaks when I try to use a .jpg image. When I try to create a photo doc with a .jpg, I get the following error:

* Module PIL.Image, line 255, in _getdecoder IOError: decoder jpeg not available

OK, so i've searched all the lists I can find, and it seems as if i don't have JPEG support compiled into PIL.

If I go to /var/zope/lib/python2.1/site-packages/PIL and run "ldd _imaging.so", I get:

libc.so.6 => /lib/i686/libc.so.6 (0x42000000) /lib/ld-linux.so.2 => /lib/ld-linux.so.2 (0x80000000)

I believe I should have a line in there like "libjpeg.so.6 => /usr/lib/libjpeg.so.6". But I don't. So I believe this means that I need to recompile the PIL libraries? I went back to my PIL /libImaging folder and tried manually editing the ImConfig.h file. I uncommented the line

/* Define if you have the IJG jpeg library (-ljpeg). */ #undef HAVE_LIBJPEG */

then re-run make, but the new "_imaging.so" still doesn't seem to be linked to libjpeg.so.6.

I think i'm close, but I can't quite get there. How do I recompile PIL with JPG support? Sorry for being an idiot here, but can someone help drag me the last 10 feet to victory?
