another setup issue, reportlab and pil can't be installed

[Krishnakant Mane]

Hello,
This might be an issue related to the virtual environment I don't know.
In that case it is off topic.
But some how once I install Pylons inside a virtual environment, I can't
install reportlab and pil using easy_install.
Actually I need these packages for generating reports for my web
application in pdf.

Can any one guess what the problem could be?

Happy hacking.

I experienced an issue with installing PIL v.1.1.7 for py2.6 on mac osx 10.6.  The egg on pypi was mis-organized.  It installed fine but I would receive errors when I tried to import PIL.  It was easily rectified by adding a PIL directory below the installed egg directory.  Maybe you are experiencing the same problem?

Here is what PIL looked like straight from pypi:

Under the following directory was only one directory, EGG-INFO, and then all of the *.py files that make up the PIL library.

site-packages/PIL-1.1.7-py2.6-macosx-10.6-universal.egg/

But for the importer to properly recognize the package it should look like the following with all the *.py files in the PIL directory:

site-packages/PIL-1.1.7-py2.6-macosx-10.6-universal.egg/
    /EGG-INFO
    /PIL

Therefore, just create a PIL directory and move all the .py files there.

Cheers

I get error gcc failed with exit status 1.
I can't figure out why would gcc have a problem when all the built tools are in place.

If I recall, both of those require gcc to compile portions of the
package. I believe the issue you are probably hitting is that the
python-dev libraries that match your version of python are not
installed. The xcode libraries are not updated when the general
system is upgraded, so, you are probably running a different version
of python than the dev libraries.

You can become a developer at no cost, but, I believe xcode 3.2.3
contains the python dev that matches 10.6.4 I cannot find the release
notes for xcode 3.2.3, but, I believe that is the issue you're running
into.

Python dev libraries are indeed needed.
I fixt it by installing the libraries.
thanks every one.

Happy hacking.
