From the "I always forget how to do this, so here's a reminder for next time" files: Installing PIL with JPEG support on OS X - but without using Fink.
All the PIL documentation just says to install libjpeg using Fink. I'm not really into Fink, so I always flounder around for how to do it when installing libjpeg from source. The secret is that after you install libjpeg, also do:
sudo make install-lib

LOL, I just installed PIL and fought the hassle of getting the jpeg library properly installed and linked into PIL ... and I have already forgotten how I did it and where I found the answer.
I just remember thinking, "Sigh, I really wish this would 'just work.' "
