Hello! I am trying to run an image processing script on a new server under CentOS 5.4. I have compiled and installed PIL 1.1.7 to run with Python 2.7.1. The compile went fine. All libraries (except TKInter) were found. All 57 tests were passed by the test script.
When I try to run my script, however, I get the following error: IOError: decoder zip not available I presume that this either has to do with zlib or libjpeg but, as I said, these libraries are installed and have been successfully used by other apps on the server such as php 5.3.3 and ImageMagick. Can someone help me find out what is not working and how to fix it? I have confirmed that sys.path is looking in the right directories for the libraries. I have also confirmed, by enabling verbose mode and importing the Image module in IDLE. Everything seems to look right but, still, it cannot find decoder zip. Here is the output from the script I am using: The python sys path is: ['/usr/local/mcutil/haven/minecraft-overviewer', '/usr/local/lib/python2.7', '/usr/local/lib/python2.7/site-packages', '/usr/local/lib/python2.7/encodings', '/usr/local/mcutil/haven/minecraft-overviewer', '/usr/local/lib/python27.zip', '/usr/local/lib/python2.7/plat-linux2', '/usr/local/lib/python2.7/lib-tk', '/usr/local/lib/python2.7/lib-old', '/usr/local/lib/python2.7/lib-dynload', '/usr/local/lib/python2.7/site-packages/PIL', '/usr/local/lib/python2.7/site-packages/numpy'] Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/local/mcutil/haven/minecraft-overviewer/gmap.py", line 40, in <module> import world File "/usr/local/mcutil/haven/minecraft-overviewer/world.py", line 28, in <module> import chunk File "/usr/local/mcutil/haven/minecraft-overviewer/chunk.py", line 25, in <module> import textures File "/usr/local/mcutil/haven/minecraft-overviewer/textures.py", line 116, in <module> terrain_images = _split_terrain(_get_terrain_image()) File "/usr/local/mcutil/haven/minecraft-overviewer/textures.py", line 110, in _split_terrain Image.BICUBIC) File "/usr/local/lib/python2.7/site-packages/PIL/Image.py", line 1615, in transform im.__transformer((0, 0)+size, self, method, data, resample, fill) File "/usr/local/lib/python2.7/site-packages/PIL/Image.py", line 1658, in __transformer image.load() File "/usr/local/lib/python2.7/site-packages/PIL/ImageFile.py", line 189, in load d = Image._getdecoder(self.mode, d, a, self.decoderconfig) File "/usr/local/lib/python2.7/site-packages/PIL/Image.py", line 385, in _getdecoder raise IOError("decoder %s not available" % decoder_name) IOError: decoder zip not available I have re-installed the zlib and zlib-devel packages via yum with no effect. I have rebuilt PIL several times and received positive results from the build process but no change in behavior.

Most of them yeilded terse, dummy answers like not having the devel packages installed for the dependencies. This is obviously not the case here.

I went back several weeks, chronologically and did not find any mention of this error message. My apologies if it is here somewhere and I did not know how to find it. Any help with where to look, how to troubleshoot, or even an answer would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance! Hitting his head against the wall, Adam :)
