How can I make libjpeg available to python2.5?

rated 0 times [ 0] [ 0] / answers: 1 / hits: 562 / 2 Years ago, sun, january 2, 2022, 1:18:48

I am running Ubuntu 11.04. Along with python 2.7 I have also 2.6 and 2.5. I am using 2.5 version to work and deploy my applications on App Engine. I have installed PIL (Python Image library) but despite I have all the dependencies covered it informs me that it cannot support jpeg and the rest of formats. How can I make the libjpeg-dev available to my custom python installation?

The PIL setup.py file if you are trying to install with easy_install the ./configure script is not available. If you open the setup.py in the first lines somewhere are the paths for Jpeg support zlib support etc. I set their values according to my paths of the installed libraries. So the setup.py looks like this before executing it:



 37 JPEG_ROOT = "/usr/lib"

 38 ZLIB_ROOT = "/usr/lib/zlib/lib"

 39 TIFF_ROOT = None

 40 FREETYPE_ROOT = "/usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/"

I have manually installed zlib under /usr/lib/zlib to serve my needs.

The selftest.py of PIL will recognize the available libraries. Recompile PIL and everything is set!
