Something that probably shouldn’t be causing me so many problems, is.

I’m trying to install PIL on my Ubuntu server. It’s installing fine. However every time I try and update the database to add the image field I get the following error:

Error: One or more models did not validate:
product.product: “image”: To use ImageFields, you need to install the Python Imaging Library. Get it at http://www.pythonware.com/products/pil/ .

I’ve just realised I have been logged in as my user. Do i need to be logged in as root to install it? I’m doing this on a VPS not a local machine.

I’ve tried loads of tutorials on the web and not getting anywhere at all.

    I had to install python-dev then install PIL inside my virtualenv.

    All working now.

    Thanks for your help all! 🙂
