18374	ImageField not validating due to missing libraries	fabian@…	nobody	"IMHO, it is worth to be mentioned in the documentation that `libjpeg` must be available on the system PRIOR to PIL being installed.
Else, validating a form with an `ImageField` will fail with `corrupt image` error, due to `django/forms/fields.py` plays down the Exception in line 592, which most probably is `IOError: ""decoder jpeg not available""`

On a Mac, it can be easily downloaded on 
http://ethan.tira-thompson.com/Mac_OS_X_Ports.html

On most Linux distributions, `libjpeg-dev` is available in the repositories.

Afterwards, PIL must be re-compiled and -installed in order to let it know about it."	Cleanup/optimization	closed	Documentation	1.4	Normal	fixed			Ready for checkin	1	0	0	0	0	0
