_imaging C module cannot be found - OSX Mountain Lion about pillow HOT 13 CLOSED

Possible duplicate of #10 or #14?

from pillow.

Perhaps, but my installation report shows JPEG support available. Is there something I should symlink before install? I've tried all the usual suspects when installing bare PIL.

from pillow.

Additionally, directly importing _imaging gives this traceback:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
ImportError: dlopen(/Users/205250/projects/gonation/env/lib/python2.7/site-packages/PIL/_imaging.so, 2): Symbol not found: _PyFloat_AS_DOUBLE

Not sure if that helps. Also in virtualenv.

Uninstall your old copy of PIL

from pillow.

Did the uninstall, sorry, just copied the traceback from the wrong console. The same error occurs with only Pillow in the virtualenv and no global install of PIL or Pillow.

Have you reviewed #10 and/or #14? I don't recall the fixes/workarounds/whatever but it seems to me like this is a known issue

from pillow.

I did review and tried the fixes listed in #14 and #10 , but I still can't seem to get it to work. What's funny is the installation output says that libjpeg was located successfully. I have tried changing the JPEG_ROOT in setup.py as well. Adding the directories from the brew Cellar and reinstalling yields the same result.

It doesn't appear to be specific to using virtualenv as well, though I had originally thought this. Installing into the global site-packages shows the same behavior. Thanks for the help!

Has PIL been removed from both the virtualenv and global site packages?

from pillow.

All instances of PIL have been removed. I also tried creating a new virtualenv after removing all PIL from all locations and showed the same behavior.

from pillow.

Can you re-paste the errors you get with Pillow (instead of PIL)? I'm not sure what's going on, but this is suspect: ImportError: dlopen(/Users/205250/projects/gonation/env/lib/python2.7/site-packages/PIL/_imaging.so, 2): Symbol not found: _PyFloat_AS_DOUBLE

I also can't reproduce.

from pillow.

Sorry for the delay. It seems I got things worked out by relinking some brew formulas and installing libcms. If you couldn't reproduce this was probably something too localized. Going to close if that's ok.

from pillow.

Yep, glad you fixed it!

from pillow.

I ran into the same problem. Just wanted to update with my fix:

1. Removed PIL & Pillow from osx's site-packages and the virtualenv site packages
2. Created a new virtualenv and did a pip install pillow. if that works (it did for me), the problem is in your virtualenv.
3. diff -r the good and bad virtualenvs. there ended up being something odd/wrong with my virtualenv Python versions. one may have been built on 2.7, the other on 2.7.5 ; i did something sketchy and replaced the python executable and things work fine. i wouldn't recommend that, but its a stopgap until i rebuild the virtualenv tonight.

Also to be clear, the first thing you want to check is if you can install Pillow in a new virtualenv. i didn't think of doing that , because i'm replacing a functional PIL
