I'm crazy with Pillow. I already ask here, without solving:

Python Django Mezzanine install fail for Pillow package

I have Ubuntu 14.04 and python 2.7.

Installing pillow using pip or from github I have this error:

x86_64-linux-gnu-gcc: error: build/temp.linux-x86_64-2.7/_imaging.o: File o directory non esistente
x86_64-linux-gnu-gcc: error: build/temp.linux-x86_64-2.7/decode.o: File o directory non esistente

Naturally I follow this also:

PIL install in Ubuntu 14.04.1 LTS

Maybe there is some library conflict. I try to remove all and install again but I have always same error.

Have you a suggest?


Firstly, you need the python-dev package because Pillow needs compile headers defined.

sudo apt-get install python-dev

On Ubuntu 14.04 you need few extra packages to get pillow working. Install all of them with the command:

sudo apt-get install libtiff5-dev libjpeg8-dev zlib1g-dev libfreetype6-dev liblcms2-dev libwebp-dev tcl8.6-dev tk8.6-dev python-tk

This will work for both python 2.x and python 3.x. You might not need all of these, but at the very least you should install libjpeg8-dev and zlib1g-dev for JPEG and PNG support.

If you are using Ubuntu 12.04, use the following command.

sudo apt-get install libtiff4-dev libjpeg8-dev zlib1g-dev libfreetype6-dev liblcms2-dev libwebp-dev tcl8.5-dev tk8.5-dev python-tk

Detailed instructions can be found at official pillow documentation.

Installation — Pillow (PIL Fork) 2.6.1 documentation


sudo apt-get install python-dev python-setuptools

and

sudo apt-get install libtiff5-dev libjpeg8-dev zlib1g-dev libfreetype6-dev liblcms2-dev libwebp-dev tcl8.6-dev tk8.6-dev python-tk
