    PIL issues

    I am trying to use PIL and when building it, PIL fails to find my jpeg
    library. I am using a python 2.4.3 that I build myself on Suse linux 9.3. I
    do have the following jpeg libraries:

    rpm -qa | grep jpeg
    jpeg-6b-738
    libjpeg-32bit-9.3-7
    libjpeg-6.2.0-738


    yet, when building PIL I get:

    python setup.py build_ext -i
    running build_ext
    --------------------------------------------------------------------
    PIL 1.1.5 BUILD SUMMARY
    --------------------------------------------------------------------
    version 1.1.5
    platform linux2 2.4.2 (#4, Jul 27 2006, 14:34:30)
    [GCC 3.3.5 20050117 (prerelease) (SUSE Linux)]
    --------------------------------------------------------------------
    *** TKINTER support not available
    *** JPEG support not available
    --- ZLIB (PNG/ZIP) support ok
    *** FREETYPE2 support not available
    --------------------------------------------------------------------
    To add a missing option, make sure you have the required
    library, and set the corresponding ROOT variable in the
    setup.py script.

    I don't know what ROOT variable the message is referring too. Any advice
    would be appreciated.

      This is because PIL, is not able to find the jpeg/other libraries .

      1. Install jpeg-libs from sources: (http://www.ijg.org/files/jpegsrc.v6b.tar.gz)
      2.0: "clean" the PIL build
      2.1 In setup.py that comes with PIL, set the JPEG_ROOT to the jpeg-lib path
      3.0 run setup.py

      I hope that should help ..

      cheers,
      amit
