This is what worked for PIL with jpeg, zlib and freetype2 support:
> ln -s /usr/lib64/libz.so $VIRTUAL_ENV/lib/
> ln -s /usr/lib64/libfreetype.so $VIRTUAL_ENV/lib/
> ln -s /usr/lib64/libjpeg.so $VIRTUAL_ENV/lib/
>pip install PIL
Result:
*** TKINTER support not available
— JPEG support available
— ZLIB (PNG/ZIP) support available
— FREETYPE2 support available
*** LITTLECMS support not available
