Can't get PIL to work on Mac OS X

I wanted to recompile PIL after having installed libjpeg because it threw the decoder jpeg not available whenever I tried importing JPEG images.

So, I've downloaded libjpeg, compiled it and installed it. Then I removed the ./build folder from PIL's source cache, and recompiled it (using sudo python setup.py install).

Now the selftest.py thing is failing with *** The _imaging C module is not installed. I have no idea what the issue is.

Does anyone know what could be causing this? I'm on OS X Lion.

What would I try:

  • Remove old PIL and install new it from scratch (maybe it did not override properly).
  • If you missed something when compiling the libjpeg, like path specifications it will not find some of the libraries, so I recomend trying MacPorts py27-pil port for PIL installation, which will place all dependancies.
