[Image-SIG] Cannot get PIL to install with jpeg support

[Bruce Johnson]

OS : SLES10

Both libjpeg and libjpeg-devel packages are installed, libjpeg.so  
files are in /usr/lib, setup.py is modified to show that.

running python setup.py --force

(to force recompiling)

Ends up with

  --------------------------------------------------------------------
PIL 1.1.6 BUILD SUMMARY
--------------------------------------------------------------------
version       1.1.6
platform      linux2 2.6 (r26:66714, Feb 16 2009, 11:13:50)

*** TKINTER support not available
--- JPEG support ok

Selftest.py still ends up failing on jpegs:

tonic:~/html2pdf_sources/Imaging-1.1.6 # python selftest.py
*****************************************************************
Failure in example: _info(Image.open("Images/lena.jpg"))

The PIL README says to install the IJG jpeg library, but that isn't a  
library! All that package makes and installs is executable programs  
and man pages:

tonic:~/jpeg-6b # make -n install
/usr/bin/install -c cjpeg /usr/local/bin/cjpeg
/usr/bin/install -c djpeg /usr/local/bin/djpeg
/usr/bin/install -c jpegtran /usr/local/bin/jpegtran
/usr/bin/install -c rdjpgcom /usr/local/bin/rdjpgcom
/usr/bin/install -c wrjpgcom /usr/local/bin/wrjpgcom
/usr/bin/install -c -m 644 ./cjpeg.1 /usr/local/man/man1/cjpeg.1
/usr/bin/install -c -m 644 ./djpeg.1 /usr/local/man/man1/djpeg.1
/usr/bin/install -c -m 644 ./jpegtran.1 /usr/local/man/man1/jpegtran.1
/usr/bin/install -c -m 644 ./rdjpgcom.1 /usr/local/man/man1/rdjpgcom.1
/usr/bin/install -c -m 644 ./wrjpgcom.1 /usr/local/man/man1/wrjpgcom.1

No library.

What's wrong?
