Termux-packages: pillow error

[Ublimjo]

I've installed pillow but when I import there is an error

>>> from PIL import image
ImportError: dlopen failed: cannot locate symbol "modf" referenced by "_imaging.cpython-36m.so"...

[Grimler91]

modf is in the math library, so try LDFLAGS=" -lm" pip install pillow.

pip install pillow works fine on my device, which android version are you on?

You could also try downloading the sources, apply this patch:

diff --git a/setup.py b/setup.py

-        libs = []

         defs = []
         if feature.jpeg:
             libs.append(feature.jpeg)

And then install with python setup.py install.

LDFLAGS=" -lm" pip install pillow this command works for me

[xeffyr]

Closing since issue is solvable by

LDFLAGS=" -lm" pip install pillow

Before reinstalling pillow, directory $HOME/.cache should be removed to avoid cached builds.
