I have tried to compile PIL severl times Using versions 1.1, 1.1.1, 
1.1.2 - all with same error.

I first downloaded/installed the IJG JPEG library (version 6b). I 
compiled and installed without a problem, but when trying to run the 
final "make" I get the following error. ("make -f Makefile.pre.in boot" 
works fine")


I'm running RH7.1 & python 2.1


# gcc -shared  ./_imaging.o ./decode.o ./encode.o ./map.o ./display.o 
./outline.o ./path.o  libImaging/libImaging.a -L/usr/local/lib -ljpeg 
-L/usr/local/lib -lz  -o ./_imaging.so
# /usr/bin/ld: cannot find -ljpeg
# collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
# make: *** [_imaging.so] Error 1

TIA
