I was happy to see that Python 2.5 still shipped with SL, but now I'm
less happy. I can't seem to compile PIL for Python 2.5 on Snow Leopard.

The problem is that when I build and install libjpeg or libpng, it
builds 64-bit libraries, but Python 2.5 is 32-bit, so the libraries
don't work when PIL tries to use them.  You get an error message
something like this:


Can you try recompiling with "-arch i386 -arch x86_64" options in the CFLAGS? I think I had gotten this to work for some other libraries when I ran into the dreaded linking problem. You might instead need to do CC="gcc -arch..." if the configure tool munges the CFLAGS too much.

    % CFLAGS="-arch i386 -arch x86_64" ./configure ...

or

    % CC="gcc -arch..." ./configure ...
