Why can't I install Pillow on my mac? It gives some errors

Question

here is the error from installing Pillow. I'm using OS X Mavericks. I tried installing Pillow through pip install..

The terminal hanged afterwards. The thing is I could try installing it in other ways but I wanna know why it isnt working

UPDATE The thing that has been choking my installation is when I install webp.. It always hangs in there..

Those all appear to be safe to ignore *warnings*. Any errors in the output? — Rob Agar, Mar 24 '14 at 17:03
It’s hard to tell from what you’ve provided – try building Pillow with `python setup.py build_ext` followed by `python setup.py build` if successful; then come back and post any results that diverge from the pip run, as they will likely be telling. — fish2000, Mar 24 '14 at 18:09
@fish2000 I tried installing the prerequisites from here http://pillow.readthedocs.org/en/latest/installation.html and was stuck in installing webp and littlecms. it just hangs.. I tried downloading it and doing python setup.py build_ext but still the same error I get above.. — Leonid, Mar 25 '14 at 16:03

I got it.. What I actually did here is installed Pillow through

sudo ARCHFLAGS=-Wno-error=unused-command-line-argument-hard-error-in-future pip install pillow

I realized I had problems with webp and little-cms so I manually installed them through downloading packages..

Hello Leonid. I used your hack and it seems like it successfully installed but I couldn't import it in python shell, and django runserver doesn't recognize its existence. Any ideas what might have happened? – 0xmtn Jul 21 '14 at 03:22
