Re: IOError: decoder zip not available

  Ah- I think we are getting somewhere...

The ZipEncode and ZipDecode files were not in the build branch at all. I 
rmvd the build directory and rebuilt again according to your 
instructions. I got the all-is-well summary but still no 
ZipEncode/ZipDecode files created in the build directory. In fact, the 
build directory did not return. I then ran selftest.py and all 57 tests 
passed!

The build and the selftest ran suspiciously quick, though:

[root@mc2 Imaging-1.1.7]# ls -al build
ls: build: No such file or directory
[root@mc2 Imaging-1.1.7]# python2.7 setup.py build_ext -i
running build_ext

To add a missing option, make sure you have the required
library, and set the corresponding ROOT variable in the
setup.py script.

To check the build, run the selftest.py script.
[root@mc2 Imaging-1.1.7]# python2.7 selftest.py

Also, it does look like the built imaging library is not the same as the 
one installed in the PIL branch under ...python2.7/site-packages.

Do you think if I:
rm -rf  /usr/local/lib/python2.7/site-packages/PIL*

..and then restore the original source package and start the build from 
scratch, it will clear things up? (Actually, I am pretty sure I have 
already done this but who knows what might have transpired in-between 
last time.)

Thanks!
Adam
