the _imaging.dll file should be placed some-
where along your Python search path.

to figure out what goes wrong, fire up your
python interpreter and type:

    >>> import _imaging

if you get an ImportError, check that sys.path
is what you expect:

    >>> import sys
    >>> sys.path
    [list of directories]
