Re: PIL on 10.6 = PAIN

This sounds more like libjpeg isn't on the library load path, a
system, rather than python, setting.

I haven't done this with a Mac, but PIL has been troublesome on *nix
servers for us as well.

The common problems for us don't sound like your problem. [Some
versions of PIL install as "Imaging" rather than PIL. If libjpeg
isn't installed first, including development data (headers, stub
library (called import library on Windows)) when your packaging system
separates them, when you first build PIL, you can rebuild it until you
are blue in the face and it won't pick up libjpeg that you installed
later - need to totally remove PIL and rebuild]

You seem to have successfully built to use libjpeg, but it isn't
there. I can think of three possibilities:

1. It really isn't there, maybe the reverse problem of installing a
"development" package but not the main one.

2. It's there, but it doesn't match the version your _imagning.so was
built against.

3. It's there, but the library loader hasn't been told about it. On
linux this means findable via ld.conf (or ld.so.conf) and ldconfig has
been run since. Package installation scripts usually take care of
this, but it sometimes needs to be done by hand, if you're just, for
example, unpacking a tarball. I don't know the equivalent for osx.

Good luck.
