PIL with JPEG, ZLIB, FREETYPE2, LITTLECMS support in virtualenv on Ubuntu 11.10

To enable JPEG and PNG support install:

sudo apt-get install libjpeg8 libjpeg8-dev
sudo apt-get install zlib1g-dev
sudo apt-get install libfreetype6 libfreetype6-dev
sudo apt-get install liblcms1 liblcms1-dev

On x64 system symlink libraries:

sudo ln -s /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libfreetype.so /usr/lib/
sudo ln -s /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libz.so /usr/lib/
sudo ln -s /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libjpeg.so /usr/lib/
sudo ln -s /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/liblcms.so /usr/lib

cd /usr/include
ln -s freetype2 freetype

And finally in your virtualenv:

pip install PIL

You should see somethings like this during installation:
