Lambda function throws error version `ZLIB_1.2.9' not found

Question

I created a lambda function using python 3.8 and installed pillow for image processing.
By default aws installs the pillow version 9.5.0 and zlib version 1.2.11.
However when I execute the function, it throws the error: version `ZLIB_1.2.9’ not found (required by Pillow.lib/libpng16.so)
I have tried many things from the internet but cannot overcome this error.
Could you please help me?
Thank you.

After experimentation, I managed to find a solution by myself. Instead of using the latest Amazon Linux 2023 AMI, I used the Amazon Linux 2 AMI and worked fine for my case.

Answer

I fixed it by creating a Layer with the Pillow package. First run the following from my terminal:

```
pip install pillow --platform manylinux1_x86_64 --only-binary=:all: -t ./python
```

Then I zipped it and uploaded it as Layer.

Works with python 3.10 Architecture: x86_64

Hello,

Lambda function doesn't come prepacked with Pillow. The error `ZLIB_1.2.9' not found can be due to any other missing module such as opencv.
Can you share your import statements which you are using in your code so I can test it on my own function.
