I compiled PIL 1.0 on Red Hat Linux 5.2, but then I get:

[schwinger:/usr/src/python/Python-1.5.2/Extensions/Imaging-1.0]# python
Python 1.5.2 (#5, Apr 14 1999, 19:21:58) [GCC 2.7.2.3] on linux2

>>> import _imaging
Traceback (innermost last):
File "<stdin>", line 1, in ?
ImportError: /usr/lib/libtk8.0.so: undefined symbol: XFreePixmap
>>>

Is my tk version too old? I have tk-8.0.3-20.

Yes, but the PIL link on this page gives me:

this might work:

comment out the Tkinter-related lines in the
Setup file and rebuild PIL (to use ImageTk, you
need to hook into Tkinter in the old way; see
Tk/README for more info).

or this:

rebuild Tcl/Tk with --enable-shared, and then
relink PIL.

hope this helps!

You need to add -L/usr/X11R6/lib -lX11 to the final link, if you're
using Linux.

I'm offically on vacation, and my brain is pretty much
switched off, but doesn't that gives you multiple copies
of the Tcl/Tk libraries (one in PIL and one in _tkinter?).

I'd definitely recommend using shared versions of Tcl
and Tk instead...

Congratulations! This is a Really Big Deal! PIL is an awesome piece of
work. (in several senses)
