How to install PIL with zlip and jpg support in centos with pip python

2

When i install pip install PIL then i get this

   *** TKINTER support not available
    *** JPEG support not available
    *** ZLIB (PNG/ZIP) support not available
    *** FREETYPE2 support not available
    *** LITTLECMS support not available
    --------------------------------------------------------------------

I have all the libraries and i tried this as well

sudo ln -s /usr/lib64/libfreetype.so /usr/lib/
sudo ln -s /usr/lib64/libz.so /usr/lib/
sudo ln -s /usr/lib64/libjpeg.so /usr/lib/

how can i install all of the above with pip on centos

Make sure the libs you need are in the search path. – iMom0 – 2012-12-19T14:50:33.423

How did you install python? In my experience with package managers, sometimes you need to explicitly install tkinter. I think it's sudo apt-get install python-tk on Ubuntu -- Don't know about centos though. (and this only addresses 1 of your dependency issues ...) – mgilson – 2012-12-19T14:51:05.773

You need the required headers from the corresponding libraries: libjpeg, libpng, and others.

Usually, you will need the dev packages for those libraries to have the headers.

Nevertheless, installing PIL is usually pretty complicated as it often fails to detect the libraries. You should do pip install pillow instead. pillow is an installer for PIL, which finds libraries more easily.
