Hej PIL people!
Just a few comments on my installation experience, so that it may be
avoided in future releases and by others who may be more newbie than I
(if this is possible...):
The installation instructions say:
4. To check that this library works as it should, type:
$ make check
It isn't much of a test, but it shouldn't crash, at least :-)
This is what I got...
% make check
=2E/coretest
make: *** [check] Floating point exception (core dumped)
=2E..running on a DEC Alpha with DEC UNIX 4.0. I guess this is Fred's ide=
a
of a coretest. ;-)
Then there were 2 compiler warnings to _imagingmodule.c: lines 845 and
1249 ("signed char" being incompatable with "unsigned char")
The installation seems to result in an OK PIL, apart from these
glitches. Then again, I haven't put PIL to the test yet. Who knows what
will come out of the woodwork...
We hope to use PIL as one of a number of building blocks to a
Python-based weather radar software system. =
best, -d
