Installing Python imaging library (PIL) on Ubuntu

Viewed 13337

Something that probably shouldn't be causing me so many problems, is.

I'm trying to install PIL on my Ubuntu server. It's installing fine. However every time I try and update the database to add the image field I get the following error:

Error: One or more models did not validate: product.product: "image": To use ImageFields, you need to install the Python Imaging Library. Get it at http://www.pythonware.com/products/pil/ .

I've just realised I have been logged in as my user. Do i need to be logged in as root to install it? I'm doing this on a VPS not a local machine.

I've tried loads of tutorials on the web and not getting anywhere at all.
