[Image-SIG] Need help installing PIL 1.1.5 on OSX (LONG)

[Jack Wu]

<I forgot to reply all to mailing list, here is what I emailed to
Fedrick yesterday.>

Thanks for replying.

Actually I also had tried that earlier, to no avail.  Sorry i forgot
to mention it in my long email.  A note, the filename says OSX10.4, I
have OSX10.3.9...but it didn't give me any errors while installing.

Just for kicks I installed again right now, here is the process and the output:
1) install via GUI, everything went okay

2) python -vv -c "import imaging" returned this in the middle of output:
import _imaging # dynamically loaded from
/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.4/lib/python2.4/site-packages/PIL/_imaging.so

3) _imaging.so in main python dir was updated (previously was ~600KB):
Jack-Wus-Computer:~ jackwu$ ls -la
/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.4/lib/python2.4/site-packages/PIL/_imaging.so
-rw--w----  1 jackwu  admin  931268 19 Apr 09:23
/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.4/lib/python2.4/site-packages/PIL/_imaging.so

4) self test still fails:
Jack-Wus-Computer:~/Desktop/Imaging-1.1.5 jackwu$ python selftest.py
*****************************************************************
Failure in example: _info(Image.open("Images/lena.jpg"))
from line #24 of selftest.testimage
