well its obious what is wrong. pil was not compiled with jpeg support.
i'm currently setting up plone buildout on some centos box (for gentooista - like me - this is like having only one hand to type). i created virtual environment with --no-site-packages as usual. that means i need to install pil manualy.
?> wget http://effbot.org/downloads/Imaging-1.1.6.tar.gz
?> tar zxvf Imaging-1.1.6.tar.gz
?> cd Imaging-1.1.6
?> python setup.py install
the i've looked at build summary
--------------------------------------------------------------------
PIL 1.1.6 BUILD SUMMARY
--------------------------------------------------------------------
version 1.1.6
platform linux2 2.4.3 (#1, May 24 2008, 13:57:05)
[GCC 4.1.2 20070626 (Red Hat 4.1.2-14)]
--------------------------------------------------------------------
*** TKINTER support not available
*** JPEG support not available
*** ZLIB (PNG/ZIP) support not available
*** FREETYPE2 support not available
--------------------------------------------------------------------
well next steps were obvious. i need to install libjpeg, zlib and freetype2, and then reinstall pil.
?> yum install libjpeg-devel zlib-devel freetype-devel
?> python setup.py install
and build summary is now
--------------------------------------------------------------------
PIL 1.1.6 BUILD SUMMARY
--------------------------------------------------------------------
version 1.1.6
platform linux2 2.4.3 (#1, May 24 2008, 13:57:05)
[GCC 4.1.2 20070626 (Red Hat 4.1.2-14)]
--------------------------------------------------------------------
*** TKINTER support not available
--- JPEG support ok
--- ZLIB (PNG/ZIP) support ok
--- FREETYPE2 support ok
--------------------------------------------------------------------
so i installed it right? WRONG!! if you test you plone instance you'll see that you can not upload image. even deleting pil from site-packages and reistalling didnt helped. problem is that you need to have fresh unpacked (untouched) version of pil when you install it.
?> cd ..
?> rm Imaging-1.1.6/* -R && rmdir Imaging-1.1.6
?> tar zxvf Imaging-1.1.6.tar.gz
?> cd Imaging-1.1.6
?> python setup.py install
i think i saw some guy/girl asking ppl on #plone why there is no pil support even if build summary shows that there is. well i think this was the case or at least this save my day.

Hey Rok - I normally pop this into my buildout.cfg:
[PIL]
# Build egg with Chris McDonough's custom packaging of setuptools-compatibile PIL
# http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.web.zope.devel/13999
# It gets installed in develop-eggs
recipe = zc.recipe.egg:custom
egg = PIL==1.1.6
find-links = http://dist.repoze.org/PIL-1.1.6.tar.gz
index = http://example.com/ignore/me
[Install-PIL]
recipe = zc.recipe.egg
eggs = PIL
Then just pop those into your parts section and you're good to go.
Of course - that assumes your deps such as zlib and so on are already installed :)
tnx, does this also work when you:
1. run buildout when zlib is not installed
2. then install zlib
3. re-run buildout
this was the above case, but i guess zc.recipe.egg:custom untars pil every time
thanks for this infor, i would like to read more about this topic.
THANK YOU!! Worked perfectly for me after spending the better half of a weekend trying to figure out what was going wrong!
