I recently struggled to get PIL to recognize JPG images from within a Python virtual environment. I'm writing to the list to document what I eventually found:
pip uninstall PIL sudo apt-get install libjpeg8-dev pip install PIL http://stackoverflow.com/questions/4435016/install-pil-on-virtualenv-with-libjpeg PIL seems really picky about version and location of the jpeg libraries. And because PIL is written in C and compiled, you need the development versions of the library in addition to the runtime versions.
