I am trying to install PIL on Mac

Answer 1

Worth noting and good information to have whenever working with Python and PIL: If you use virtualenv (and I think it's a very good idea), PIL may not correctly detect the image libraries on your system and install without JPEG/PNG support. Use the pillow package for a compatible PIL fork that finds them correctly.
