Document libjpeg/zlib etc as dependencies of PIL; add a runserver check for their presence

[btipling]

Is this expected?

[btipling]

Seeing a 404 for /static/demo/css/vendor/images/bx_loader.gif

Looking into some more.

[btipling]

There is no bx_loader.gif anywhere in wagtaildemo:

(wagtail)bjorn@ubuntu:~/dev/wagtaildemo$ find ./ -iname 'bx_loader.gif'
(wagtail)bjorn@ubuntu:~/dev/wagtaildemo$

Hi @btipling
Thanks for spotting, just taking a look into this now

[kaedroho]

I've just added the missing image files. I'm not sure if this will solve your issue though.
The box should contain a photo of a wagtail, can you see any of the other pictures on the homepage? (there should be some under "People")
Also, do you get a picture at this link? "/media/images/grey_wagtail_by_lip_kee.width-1000.jpg"

[btipling]

No I don't see the images.

I have them in the file system, but they show up as not found:

Are you running it in the VM or on your host machine?

If you're running it on your host machine, do you have the following packages installed?
libjpeg-dev libtiff-dev zlib1g-dev libfreetype6-dev liblcms2-dev

[btipling]

I didn't have those, but I am still not seeing the images after adding them. I am using a vm, but I'm not using vagrant because vagrant for Vmware Fusion is not free. I'm using Ubuntu 13.10

I dumped my database and recreated running all the ./manage.py commands again, but no luck.

[kaedroho]

You'll need to rebuild Pillow as it was first built without those packages (so it hasn't linked to them)

You can do this by running:

pip uninstall Pillow
pip install Pillow

Let me know if that gets you anywhere

[btipling]

That worked. Thank you. Some kind of check maybe when starting runserver may be helpful in the future. :)

[btipling]

Maybe just update the readme for non vagrant with those requirements (and others people have had to install)?

[oyvindsk]

Adding the dependencies fixed this issue for me as well..

[BertrandBordage]

I can’t reproduce this bug. Maybe it’s a file/folder permission issue?

[gasman]

It sounds like this is universally caused by missing dependencies of PIL. Have updated the issue title to address the fixes that @btipling proposes.

[BertrandBordage]

So this could be closed in favor of #7 if I understand well.

[gasman]

http://docs.wagtail.io/en/v1.0/getting_started/index.html now covers the fact that Pillow requires additional libraries (and this document is the current recommended route for new users, rather than wagtaildemo). Adding a runserver check is covered in wagtail/wagtail#1644.
