Install PIL on linux

Install PIL on linux

sudo apt-get update ;
sudo apt-get install libjpeg-turbo8-dev libjpeg8-dev ;
sudo apt-get install libjpeg-dev libfreetype6 libfreetype6-dev zlib1g-dev zlib1g-dev libfreetype6-dev liblcms1-dev libjpeg62-dev;
sudo apt-get build-dep python-imaging

#PIL cant find the files he needs, so we need to make symlinks to the files he looks for
sudo ln -s /usr/lib/`uname -i`-linux-gnu/libfreetype.so /usr/lib/ ;
sudo ln -s /usr/lib/`uname -i`-linux-gnu/libjpeg.so /usr/lib/ ;
sudo ln -s /usr/lib/`uname -i`-linux-gnu/libz.so /usr/lib/;



#be sure you are in the enviroment you need to install PIL (in case you are using virtualenv)
pip uninstall PIL ; pip install PIL

I solve the problem according this link http://stackoverflow.com/questions/8915296/python-image-library-fails-with-message-decoder-jpeg-not-available-pil

install libjpeg-dev with apt

sudo apt-get install libjpeg-dev

reinstall pillow

pip install -I pillow

The package libjpeg-dev you says that is necessary install too, is possible that in my system the conflict with libjpeg62 uninstall libjpeg-dev in the last opportunity and I don't know this.

Of any way thanks for your gist about it. It's very useful for me. :)
