Resize problem about django-avatar HOT 6 CLOSED

I have the same problem.

from django-avatar.

I used django-imagekit to resize them dynamically. Maybe it helps you too.

I fixed by reinstalling PIL http://obroll.com/install-python-pil-python-image-library-on-ubuntu-11-10-oneiric/

I pdb-ed , and in my case it was due to missing zlib library.

Thanks anyway for prompt response!

@pcompassion, thank you for the link!!! In my case, it was not properly resizing pictures --- even though it worked fine with 80x80 --- even though I had Pillow installed on my Mac. I tried on Ubuntu using these instructions for installing PIL, and it works great!
I'll repost it here, just in case the original page disappears.
Installing PIP on Ubuntu 11.10 Oneiric:

1. sudo pip uninstall PIL

2. Then you should install default Ubuntu packages
   sudo apt-get install libjpeg8 libjpeg62-dev libfreetype6 libfreetype6-dev

3. We should fix PIL path libraries by

   sudo ln -s /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libjpeg.so /usr/lib sudo ln -s /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libfreetype.so /usr/lib sudo ln -s /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libz.so /usr/lib

4. Now we are ready installing PIL by :
   sudo pip install -U PIL

@Commentor glad to help. funny I googled this page for the same error for the new project.

I was having the same problem and followed @sergeny steps, but it didn't work. The path to the libraries are different in my computer and PIL failed to install. Here is what I had to do:

sudo pip uninstall PIL

sudo apt-get install libjpeg8 libjpeg62-dev libfreetype6 libfreetype6-dev

sudo ln -s /usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/libjpeg.so /usr/lib
sudo ln -s /usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/libfreetype.so /usr/lib
sudo ln -s /usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/libz.so /usr/lib

sudo pip install -U PIL --allow-external PIL --allow-unverified PIL
