[Image-SIG] unable to import imaging c module

[Atishay Kumar]

hi

i am trying to use PIL, with Django to display Captcha. This could be newbie
stuff as I am new to python and PIL

I am getting following error when importing ImageFont.

ImportError: The _imaging C module is not installed

I have the file though.

[bash]# file PIL/_imaging.so

PIL/_imaging.so: ELF 32-bit LSB shared object, Intel 80386, version 1
(SYSV), not stripped

How could I fix this?

I am able to import other stuff like Image, ImageDraw, ImageColor


How can I find out version of PIL?


Regards

Atishay
