Description
People are constantly running into this irritation because a custom PIL gets built in their virtualenv:
IOError: decoder jpeg not available
Should be easy to do. Add both to the sphinx docs in the mediagoblin/ checkout and to the wiki Hacking Howto

I think it is enough to say: “Make sure there is no custom PIL in your lib folder.” My problems have always been solved by that (and only that). I think we should replace the suggestion to install pillow with making sure that there is no custom PIL and then close the issue.
I doubt installing pillow helps…

Can be closed, because PIL is not being installed by setup.py anymore.

I tried many things to fix this issue, being these the most important:
sudo apt-get install zlib1g-dev libjpeg8-dev libpng-devsudo apt-get build-dep python-imagingsudo pip install pillowpillow seemed to be the key
