PIL, libjpeg, Snow Leopard, and missing _jpeg_resync_to_restart

Entry posted on November 21, 2009.

I just spent a lot of time trying to get this working and I figured I should blog about this.

The Snow Leopard, libjpeg and PIL combination has a lot of issues. There are tons of blog posts out there about this, and they definitely helped get me a long way.

This blog post and http://proteus-tech.com/blog/cwt/install-pil-in-snow-leopard/ both are great for installing PIL and libjpeg, and if those work, great. You're done.

If, however, you keep getting issues after this when you attempt to import _imaging, try compiling libjpeg as i386.

When going to compile libjpeg:

CC="gcc -arch i386" ./configure --enable-shared --enable-static

And then do the rest normally, and you should be good to go.

Good luck.
