I got this error "OSError decoder jpeg not available" when using pillow. I tried everything I found on google but nothing worked. I'm using python 3 on ubuntu 14.04. pip version 7.0.3, Pillow version 2.8.2.

Can you add a code example where it goes wrong? – physicalattraction Jun 20 '15 at 11:40

A little late to this, but it might help someone else…
I would suggest following the Rolo's directions . If that fails, one additional thing to try is rouxxx's tip, which is to clear your local pip
cache (e.g., rm -rf ~/.cache/pip
) and see if that helps.
