(my apologies in advance)

On a clean install on Snow Leopard, I have installed:
- python 2.6.4 using the Mac installer on python.org
- In accordance with instructions here: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/1438270/installing-python-imaging-library-pil-on-snow-leopard-with-updated-python-2-6-2
I issues the command export CC=/usr/bin/gcc-4.0

- libjpeg as per http://proteus-tech.com/blog/cwt/install-pil-in-snow-leopard/
- Freetype2 as per their website http://www.freetype.org/index2.html

and now PIL but I get the following errors which I do not know how to interpret:
----

Any advice would be appreciated.
