[Image-SIG] Getting PIL to work on OSX Snow Leopard

[Simon Mosk-Aoyama]

Hi All-


I posted last week about a problem I was having, and Fredrick was kind
enough to point me in the right direction towards fixing
my problem, but unfortunately I spent the better part of today failing to
get PIL to work on my OSX Snow Leopard box, so I thought
before I abandon my attempts to get this to work I'd post again here.

I initially tried to install both libjpeg and PIL via Darwin Ports, but
unfortunately when reading a JPG I would get the following error:
broken data stream when reading image file

I then tried to install PIL via source but I received a mismatch error where
PIL was looking for version libjpeg 62 while Port had installed
version 8.0.

So I went back and installed libjpeg 6b from source using the instructions I
found on this blog post:
http://jetfar.com/libjpeg-and-python-imaging-pil-on-snow-leopard/

tar zxvf jpegsrc.v6b.tar.gz
cd jpeg-6b
cp /usr/share/libtool/config/config.sub .
cp /usr/share/libtool/config/config.guess .
./configure --enable-shared --enable-static
make
sudo make install


This seemed successful as the files seem to have installed fine:

simon@/Users/simon/: ls -al /usr/local/lib/*jpeg*
-rw-r--r--  1 root  wheel  201336 Jun  4 15:56 /usr/local/lib/libjpeg.a
-rwxr-xr-x  1 root  wheel     433 Jun  4 15:56 /usr/local/lib/libjpeg.la


I then downloaded PIL 1.1.7 and edited setup.py to have JPEG_ROOT =
libinclude("/usr/local") and ran:
python setup.py build_ext -i

and got:

running build_ext

Checking to ensure the file I built is being executed I run:

    raise_ioerror(e)
  File "./PIL/ImageFile.py", line 52, in raise_ioerror
    raise IOError(message + " when reading image file")
IOError: broken data stream when reading image file

I'm at a bit of a standstill now as I can't figure out what else to do -
I've seemingly re-built libjpeg correctly from source and
have re-built PIL to point at this newly built libjpeg, but it's still
failing.

Does anyone else have any idea how to solve this?

thanks!
