Hi, I'm attempting to build PIL on a MacOSX box and python setup.py is failing on freetype2.
I installed Fink on this machine in order to get freetype2 and the jpeg libraries. My understanding of Fink and its use is only a couple hours old. ;) In PIL's set.py script, I've tried setting the FREETYPE var to explicitly point to the fink lib install. eg: FREETYPE_ROOT = "/sw/lib/" and FREETYPE_ROOT = "/sw/lib/libfreetype.6.dylib" Is this correct? (libfreetype.6.dylib exists at that location and is read/writable.) Fink also installed: /sw/lib/freetype2/lib/ libfreetype.a libfreetype.la Thanks in advance for any suggestions on getting PIL to build properly.
