PIL issues

[David Bear]

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
