Cannot install python pillow due to gcc-4.2

Question

I have tried so many things to get this going. I have been through as many of the numerous threads on problems with gcc-4.2 but it's still not working. Does anyone have any sage advice to nip this one in the bud?

I'm on Snow Leopard OSX 6.8.

Thanks

You need libtiff development headers. No idea about the procedure on a MAC. — jordanm, Jan 15 '14 at 00:24

My best advice would be to use MacPorts (or alternatively Homebrew to install all the dependencies needed, otherwise it's a real pain in the neck to chase them all down manually. I prefer MacPorts, but others don't, so your mileage may vary. To show how easy it is, on my system I'd just run:

sudo port install py27-Pillow

and it'd all automagically be configured and installed. Of course, this does require installing the MacPorts version of Python as well, but you should be able to move most if not all of your site-packages over if the versions match up. There are great docs on the website, check them out.
