hey, don't make me jealous (I'm pretty sure working with Oceano-
graphy in Goa beats working in with Oceanography in Norrköping ;-)

PIL tends to build pretty much out of the box, at least on all
platforms I have access to...

what kind of problems did you have building the library?  I suspect
that the build problems may be related to the drawing problems, so
any information on compiler warnings, linking problems etc. may be
helpful.

(are there any image-sig readers with access to SGI systems that
knows more about potential build/run problems?  I haven't seen an
SGI box in years...)
