I set up a clean box with a Ubuntu 14.04 LTS. I’ve installed the Tools from Github but the Pillow version can not be removed via pip - 2.3.0 comes installed and installing 2.9.0 or any other version will fail on this _Command /usr/bin/python -c “import setuptools, tokenize; **file** =‘/tmp/pip\_build\_root/Pillow/setup.py’;exec(compile(getattr(tokenize, ‘open’, open)( **file** ).read().replace(‘\r\n’, ‘\n’), **file** , ‘exec’))” install --record /tmp/pip-wATHpH-record/install-record.txt --single-version-externally-managed --compile failed with error code 1 in /tmp/pip\_build\_root/Pillow_ _Storing debug log for failure in /root/.pip/pip.log_ Trying to run with Pillow 2.3.0 gives me this _raceback (most recent call last):_ _File “geotag\_from\_gpx.py”, line 7, in_ _import pyexiv2_ _ImportError: No module named pyexiv2_ So now I’ve got 600 images from my Garmin Virb Elite that I can’t geotag from the GPX file. ---

I had a similar thing with another script on ubuntu 16.04 and I installed the following packages: ``` exif exiv2 python-exif python-pyexiv2 ``` I can’t remember all details and I’m not sure if all 4 packages are necessary, but this is what I installed and it works now. ---

@peter I did a re-install to Ubuntu 16 but had a HDD failure - that might have been the original problem. The images and videos sit tight for now. ---

@Stalfur, the problem seems to be that `pyexiv2` was missing. This is most likely not related to PIL or PIL’s version. When you get ubuntu running, could you try installing the packages suggested by @de_vries using `apt-get`? ---

@pau Those installs did not get through - crashing on a similar note as pillow ---

Maybe you tried installing using `pip`? Using `apt-get` should work fine (in theory) ---

The good news is that most of the images on the Virb Elite ARE geotagged. It was only like the first 10-20 that weren’t due to GPS not kicking in…
