Hello again I'm still wrestling with Python / Tkinter / PIL. I have almost got it to work - on a Fedora Core 1 system I can now display images in a Tkinter window. But I also run a Fedora Core 3 system, and when I tried the same procedures I get the following errors:-
[EMAIL PROTECTED] jpgTest]$ python pil_jpg.py Exception in Tkinter callback Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/lib/python2.3/lib-tk/Tkinter.py", line 1345, in __call__ return self.func(*args) File "pil_jpg.py", line 26, in do_something a.thumbnail((200,150)) File "/usr/lib/python2.3/site-packages/PIL/Image.py", line 1422, in thumbnail self.load() File "/usr/lib/python2.3/site-packages/PIL/ImageFile.py", line 180, in load d = Image._getdecoder(self.mode, d, a, self.decoderconfig) File "/usr/lib/python2.3/site-packages/PIL/Image.py", line 328, in _getdecoder raise IOError("decoder %s not available" % decoder_name) IOError: decoder jpeg not available I am running Python 2.3.4, PIL 1.1.5 on a Fedora Core 3 system. I know the code is ok, as it runs quite happily under FC1 and Windows. I've searched around for clues, and found a few references to this error message, but quite frankly don't understand what they are saying. Searching around for files that look as if they may be the jpeg libraries I can find /usr/lib/libjpeg.so.62.0.0, and a symbolic link /usr/lib/libjpeg.so.62. I think I somehow have to configure PIL to recognise these, but I am not sure and anyway don't know how to do this. Can anyone help? Peter -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
