I tried these commands:
pip install libjpeg8-dev pip install libjpeg-dev pip install libjpeg-devel pip install libjpeg pip install libjpeg62 libjpeg62-dev but none of them works. What is the right command with pip?

- Usually (at least on Linux and *BSD and OSX) it is the job of the package management system to deal with such things.Roland Smith– Roland Smith2012-08-15 12:30:59 +00:00Commented Aug 15, 2012 at 12:30

Use apt-get. As a side note, I was getting errors installing pillow and these commands helped me
sudo apt-get install libjpeg-dev sudo apt-get install zlib1g-dev sudo apt-get install libpng-dev

libjpeg is not a python module and pip won't ever be able to install it.
Use your Operating System's packaging system to install it. On Ubuntu and Debian that'd be apt, for example.

In the ideal case PIL should have option to download libjpeg and install together :)
I used homebrew to install that!
brew install libjpeg Hope that helps

Actually I use Heroku and the problem therefore is more complicated. Here is a solution.
EDIT: but attempts to use both hg- and git-based variants failed with various errors. Damn!

If you are running other weird OS like Red Hat you can also try: yum install libjpeg-devel zlib-devel
