Intalling Python 2.1 and Image Lib 1.1.2

I am running on RedHat 7.2
I have installed Python2.1 from the rpm.  The rpm installes it in
/ur/lib/python2.1

Installing the Image Library 1.1.2:

1.  I copy the tar file to /usr/lib/python2.1  I untar it to
/usr/lib/python2.1/Imaging-1.1.2

2.  I change directory to /usr/lib/python2.1/Imaging-1.1.2/libImaging, and
then run './configure'

3.  I then run 'make'.   No problems so far.

4.  After compilation, I run   'make check'  and get:
     ./coretest
     >>> processing lena.ppm
     >>> elapsed time: 10000
     >>> as far as we tested, everything seems to be ok....
     xv test.ppm
     make:  xv: Command not found
     make: [check] Error 127 (ignored)

5.  I then save /usr/lib/python2.1/Imaging-1.1.2/setup.ini as
/usr/lib/python2.1/Imaging-1.1.2/setup

6.  Next I run   'make -f Makefile.pre.in boot'   from
/usr/lib/python2.1/Imaging-1.1.2/  - no errors noted.

7. Then 'make'.  Get error:
    /usr/bin/Id: cannot find -Itc18.0
   collect2: Id returned 1 exit status
   make: *** [_imagingtk.so] Error 1
  Which i assume to be no probelm.

8.  Now the readme file statest to run:
     $  PYTHONPATH=.:./PIL ; export PYTHONPATH
     $  python  (this command executes python1.5.2 which i don't want to
use)
     >>>  import_imaging
     >>>  import Image
     No errors noted.

9.  Now when I try to run it using python two :
     $  PYTHONPATH=.:./PIL ; export PYTHONPATH
     $  python2
     >>>  import_imaging
     WARNING: Python C API version mismatch for module _imaging:
        This Python has API version 1010, module _Imaging has version 1007.

After this long post, anyone see where i went wrong?
