Python Imaging Library (PIL)¶
Plone uses internally Python Imaging Library (PIL) for low level image manipulation and decoding.
Installing PIL¶
This concerns only UNIXes as Windows installer comes with PIL binaries.

- PIL has libjpeg as a dependency and you need to install it using your operating system package manager. On OSX you can use macports.
- Make sure that you don't have PIL without libjpeg support in your system-wide Python setup
Installing libjpeg on OS X¶
Get http://www.ijg.org/files/jpegsrc.v7.tar.gz, and then:
tar zxvf jpegsrc.v7.tar.gz
cd jpeg-7
cp /usr/share/libtool/config.sub .
cp /usr/share/libtool/config.guess .
./configure --enable-shared --enable-static
sudo make
Then you can install PIL with JPEG support.
