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.

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
