Installing PIL in Ubuntu 11.10 Oneiric 64-bit using pip raise problem on JPEG, Zlib or freetype support. First, you need to uninstall PIL by :
1 | sudo pip uninstall PIL |
Then you should install default Ubuntu packages :
1 | sudo apt-get install libjpeg8 libjpeg62-dev libfreetype6 libfreetype6-dev |
We should fix PIL path libraries by :
1 2 3 | sudo ln -s /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libjpeg.so /usr/lib sudo ln -s /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libfreetype.so /usr/lib sudo ln -s /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libz.so /usr/lib |
Now we are ready installing PIL by :
1 | sudo pip install -U PIL |
And you will get results :
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 | ——————————————————————– PIL 1.1.7 SETUP SUMMARY ——————————————————————– version 1.1.7 platform linux2 2.7.2+ (default, Oct 4 2011, 20:06:09) [GCC 4.6.1] ——————————————————————– *** TKINTER support not available — JPEG support available — ZLIB (PNG/ZIP) support available — FREETYPE2 support available *** LITTLECMS support not available ——————————————————————– |
This is also solve PIL problem “decoder zip not available“.
