[Image-SIG] IOError("cannot identify image file")

[Fredrik Lundh]

> I can not seem to figure out why I am getting the cannot identify image file error. The image in question is a PNG. This PNG file can be loaded by PIL on another system. The PIL tests passed when installing. Is there something I there a common place to look too for why the image could not be identified.

The most common cause of this problem is that you've ended up with
multiple copies of the library, and your program isn't picking up the
PIL version you just built.  Try doing "import _imaging; print
_imaging.__file__" in your program to see what version it picks up.
