I am trying to get virtualenv and PIL to work on Ubuntu 10.04. Any hints? I read you faced some issues too a while back. Thanks.
Hi Miguel,
I read these two articles which inspired my method:
http://www.jayzawrotny.com/blog/django-pil-and-libjpeg-on-ubuntu-1110
http://jj.isgeek.net/2011/09/install-pil-with-jpeg-support-on-ubuntu-oneiric-64bits/
Install PIL. Without being in the virtualenv run the python shell and see if you can import PIL or do basic imaging tasks. If that works find where PIL is installed on Ubuntu and create a symlink in the virtualenv-directory/lib/site-packages/ folder to the working version of PIL. Now when you run the virtualenv, the Python instance will point to the working version of PIL.
Cheers!
by the way, I’ve made a package that does this linking more easily:
