the original

errors you got means that Python was installed without development files (at least
without the headers), or that the development files were installed somewhere else.

the

indicates that the Python developer files you found was generated for an incompatible
version of HP-UX, or that you're missing some HP-UX-specific developer kit.

(sys/select.h is a standard Unix header file, btw; if you don't have it, you don't have a
real Unix ;-).  or more likely, your compiler setup is botched, in some unknown way).

have you built other Python extensions on this machine ?  or any non-trivial C programs
at all, for that matter ?

if you've successfully built other C stuff, it could be worth building Python itself from
source code  (you can get source tarballs from python.org), and use that to build PIL.
