A quick guide to installing PIL (Python Imaging Library) on CentOS 6.x using the EPEL repository.

cd /opt/ wget http://mirrors.nl.eu.kernel.org/fedora-epel/6/i386/epel-release-6-7.noarch.rpm rpm -Uvh epel-release-6-7.noarch.rpm rm epel-release-6-7.noarch.rpm -f

Install (Python Imaging Library)

To install from base repositories type: yum install python-imaging

In the time I’m writing this, the base repo installs v1.1.6 while you can compile from source v1.1.7
