Something wrong with Frameworks in PIL

Question

When trying to install PIL on mac osx I do sudo python setup.py install and get everything right but the following output. Has this happened to anyone before?

running build_ext
--- using frameworks at /System/Library/Frameworks

Is this a duplicate of http://stackoverflow.com/questions/7473896/failed-to-build-pil-on-mac-os-x-10-7-lion ? I will also suggest that you use macports or brew to install PIL instead of "sudo python setup.py install". — Calvin Cheng, Jan 29 '12 at 03:15
where does pip install it? what directory? It needs to be in site-packages so that I can use django — locoboy, Jan 29 '12 at 19:27

Install Homebrew
brew install python mysql
easy_install pip
pip install virtualenv virtualenvwrapper
echo "source /usr/local/bin/virtualenvwrapper.sh > /dev/null" >> ~/.bash_profile
source ~/.bash_profile
mkvirtualenv --no-site-packages <your env name>
pip install django pillow

why not just ``brew install pil``? – jterrace Jan 29 '12 at 19:39
i did but I also needed to `ln -s` the installation to the site-packages dir – locoboy Jan 29 '12 at 21:34
jterrace, there's virtualenv to keep your python stuff in shape – Michael Samoylov Jan 30 '12 at 08:58

Two things. First, be sure to set your architecture, and second, use pillow instead of PIL since it's an actively maintained fork of PIL. i.e.

ARCHFLAGS="-arch i386 -arch x86_64" sudo pip install pillow

If you're environment is all mucked up from your first attempt, here are some suggestions on where to find and remove old PIL files.
