Error installing Pillow

Question

I'm trying to install Pillow for Python and i run this command on the terminal

sudo pip install Pillow

and i get this error

clang: error: no such file or directory: 'build/temp.macosx-10.10-intel-2.7/_imagingtk.o'

clang: error: no such file or directory: 'build/temp.macosx-10.10-intel-2.7/Tk/tkImaging.o'

error: command 'cc' failed with exit status 1

Any solutions for this? i tried looking in stack overflow only similar errors but not the same one

This might be the same as this bug in Pillow 2.5.0.

It's been fixed, to be released soon in 2.5.1.

To test the dev version:

sudo pip install git+https://github.com/python-pillow/Pillow.git

Or install version 2.4.0:

sudo pip install pillow==2.4.0

Edit: Pillow 2.5.1 has now been released so you can just do:

sudo pip install pillow

@akashrajkn What about with the latest Pillow 3.4.2? Does it work with Pillow 2.4.0? Does it work with the latest dev version? What Python version are you using? – Hugo Nov 22 '16 at 08:55
I tried installing Pillow 3.4.2, it worked. Thanks! – akashrajkn Nov 22 '16 at 12:09

Try running this command:

ARCHFLAGS=-Wno-error=unused-command-line-argument-hard-error-in-future pip install pillow
