I have just installed PIL on my machine - FreeBSD4.0 Python1.5.2

It all seemed to go well and I can use the library, but I cant create JPEG
files. Each time I try I get the following error.

>>> image.save("newimage","JPEG")
Traceback (innermost last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in ?
  File "PIL/Image.py", line 720, in save
    SAVE[string.upper(format)](self, fp, filename)
  File "PIL/JpegImagePlugin.py", line 306, in _save
    ImageFile._save(im, fp, [("jpeg", (0,0)+im.size, 0, rawmode)])
  File "PIL/ImageFile.py", line 369, in _save
    e = Image._getencoder(im.mode, e, a, im.encoderconfig)
  File "PIL/Image.py", line 259, in _getencoder
    raise IOError, "encoder %s not available" % encoder_name
IOError: encoder jpeg not available
>>>

I have jpeg-6b installed in the usual spot and the compile went fine with no
errors.

Can you suggest why it cant handle jpegs?

TIA
Tom
