title: How do I manually uninstall PIL from OSX (snow leopard)
body: <p>I managed to manually install PIL on my macbook (without package managers, please don't answer use xcode, as I want to do this manually).</p>
  
  <p>Unwanted answers:</p>
  
  <ul>
  <li>just install xcode/pillow/<a href="http://pastebin.com/kx7BM7wy" rel="nofollow">use pip</a>/etc</li>
  </ul>
  
  <p>The answer I am looking for could be:</p>
  
  <ul>
  <li>a python script that will do that in your system can be found here</li>
  <li>use these terminal commands</li>
  <li>less good: the files PIL installed are here, here and here, delete them</li>
  </ul>
  
  <p>I used these commands amongst others:</p>
  
  <pre><code>python setup.py build
  sudo python setup.py install
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>And I got this result:</p>
  
  <pre><code>--------------------------------------------------------------------
  PIL 1.1.7 SETUP SUMMARY
  --------------------------------------------------------------------
  version       1.1.7
  platform      darwin 2.6.1 (r261:67515, Jun 24 2010, 21:47:49)
                [GCC 4.2.1 (Apple Inc. build 5646)]
  --------------------------------------------------------------------
  --- TKINTER support available
  --- JPEG support available
  --- ZLIB (PNG/ZIP) support available
  *** FREETYPE2 support not available
  *** LITTLECMS support not available
  --------------------------------------------------------------------
  To add a missing option, make sure you have the required
  library, and set the corresponding ROOT variable in the
  setup.py script.
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>My big picture problem (which I will address in another question) is that I need FREETYPE2 support, but the first step will be to uninstall PIL correctly using either a python script or the terminal. My system has an intel processor and is OSX version 10.6.8</p>
  
  <p>Thanks</p>
