Locating and installing dependencies was the issue I had when I  
attempted to build from source.  I was pointed to prebuilt binaries  
and installed those instead.

My mail to image-sig (from Oct 23, 2007) follows below.

Thanks

I'm attempting to build PIL on a MacOSX box and python setup.py is
failing on freetype2.

I installed Fink on this machine in order to get freetype2 and the
jpeg libraries.  My understanding of Fink and its use is only a
couple hours old.  ;)

In PIL's set.py script, I've tried setting the FREETYPE var to
explicitly point to the fink lib install.  eg:

	FREETYPE_ROOT = "/sw/lib/"
and
	FREETYPE_ROOT = "/sw/lib/libfreetype.6.dylib"

Is this correct?  (libfreetype.6.dylib exists at that location and is
read/writable.)  Fink also installed:

	/sw/lib/freetype2/lib/
		libfreetype.a
		libfreetype.la

Thanks in advance for any suggestions on getting PIL to build properly.
