I am having serious problems trying to compile libjpeg, which I need for JPEG support in the Python Imaging Library. After bumping into several walls realized that I need to configure the libjpeg compilation with the enable-shared flag, as follows: ./configure --enable-shared
However, this results in an error: checking host system type... Invalid configuration `x86_64-unknown- linux-gnu': machine `x86_64-unknown' not recognized ...which does not allow the compilation to work. I've looked into the error but all of the solutions seem to be package specific and have nothing to do with libjpeg. The worst thing is that libjpeg is, in fact, installed in the system. For some reason the libjpeg.so.62 file in /usr/lib cannot be read by setup.py. Has anyone encountered this error? It's mission critical that I get PIL properly installed on this machine. Any help is greatly appreciated! Thanks, Dan _______________________________________________ Image-SIG maillist - [email protected] http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/image-sig
