Install PIL works for sudo, can't use in venv

Question

I'm working in Ubuntu 10.04. The default python on my machine is 2.6. I created a virutalenv with python 2.7. I am writing a django app to be run on googleappengine. In order to use an ImageField in one of my models I need to install PIL. There are many, many posts about installing PIL, and I have followed many of them with no success.

I am able to successfuly run

sudo pip install PIL

but my virtualenv cannot access it. When I run

pip install PIL

inside my virtualenv I get a gcc error.

I installed all the dependencies, apt-get installed python-imaging, downloaded PIL and tried to build/install with setup.py and followed many other instructions in the many posts I've read.

Does anyone have any ideas?

EDIT:

The error:

error: command 'gcc' failed with exit status 1

EDIT: AS MUCH OF THE ERROR AS I CAN PASTE (THE REST IS OFF THE SCREEN)

"inside my virtualenv I get a gcc error." - and which error exactly? — , Jan 06 '13 at 08:14
What Burhan Khalid says is correct. You might also want to have a look at [this SO post](http://stackoverflow.com/questions/4435016/install-pil-on-virtualenv-with-libjpeg), since it is a problem I came across a couple of times. — nvlass, Jan 06 '13 at 08:41
How did you install Python2.7? Seems the system cannot find the Python build headers. — Burhan Khalid, Jan 06 '13 at 09:02
Well you need to figure out where the Python headers are, if you installed from some `.deb` then you will have to download the source manually. — Burhan Khalid, Jan 06 '13 at 09:14
Can you point me in the correct direction? Which source would I have to download? Python 2.7? — hgolov, Jan 06 '13 at 09:20

To install PIL in a virtual environment, first you need to make sure all the dependencies are available on your system.

First, make sure your build environment is installed. Run sudo apt-get install build-essential, then run this command:

sudo apt-get build-dep python-imaging

Once that is done (it may take some time), activate your virtual environment without using sudo and then agin without using sudo run pip install PIL inside your virtual environment.

When you did sudo pip install PIL this installed it in the system-wide Python, and not in your virtual environment.

I did the sudo apt-get build-dep python-imaging. I did take time, but was successful. However, I still get the same error when I run pip install PIL! – hgolov Jan 06 '13 at 08:54
Paste the complete error, all lines above it and below it. Did you already install `build-essential`? – Burhan Khalid Jan 06 '13 at 08:57
Yes, build-essential is installed. – hgolov Jan 06 '13 at 09:01
How can I 'help' it find the python headers? – hgolov Jan 06 '13 at 09:08

This is the guide I use, when installing in a new machine:

Dependecies required:

libjpeg8
libjpeg8-dev
libfreetype6
libfreetype6-dev
zlib1g
zlib1g-dev

And double check the symlinks

thank you for your time. This is a valuable guide, although it didn't answer my question. – hgolov Jan 08 '13 at 09:40

Thank you Burhan Khalid for your pointers, they sent me on the way.

What I needed to do was

sudo apt-get install python2.7-dev.

That added Python.h to usr/include/python2.7, and gcc was then able to compile PIL.

Thank you!

You may have better luck with Pillow. Pillow is a fork of PIL which addresses the setuptools incompatibility of PIL.

Thanks for your time. I already tried this - but got similar error. – hgolov Jan 06 '13 at 08:29

Install PIL works for sudo, can't use in venv
