Issue with pillow library compilation during install with PIP

[anand7v]

Hello Team,

I am Anand from University of Stuttgart, pursuing my doctoral research. While installing the open XAI using PIP command there is a compilation error reported with respect to pillow..

running build_ext

The headers or library files could not be found for jpeg,
a required dependency when compiling Pillow from source.

Traceback (most recent call last): File "", line 1, in File "/tmp/pip-build-8_fu5dva/pillow/setup.py", line 1037, in raise RequiredDependencyException(msg) main.RequiredDependencyException:

Command "/usr/bin/python3 -u -c "import setuptools, tokenize;file='/tmp/pip-build-8_fu5dva/pillow/setup.py';f=getattr(tokenize, 'open', open)(file);code=f.read().replace('\r\n', '\n');f.close();exec(compile(code, file, 'exec'))" install --record /tmp/pip-p4qugs1n-record/install-record.txt --single-version-externally-managed --compile --user --prefix=" failed with error code 1 in /tmp/pip-build-8_fu5dva/pillow/

Am I missing some thing else in the setup (error message says some header files and other file extensions are missing)

Your feedback would be of great help!

Thanks in advance

Best regards, Anand

Hi Anand,

Thanks for your question. Pillow is not a direct dependency of OpenXAI but a lower-level dependency. Unfortunately, this seems to be an environment-specific issue, which we could not help with much.
