What OS? I had the same problem, compiling on Linux.
I needed to patch setup.py like that:

--- Imaging-1.1.4a4-orig/setup.py       Mon Apr 28 13:29:21 2003
+++ Imaging-1.1.4a4/setup.py    Tue Apr 22 18:11:27 2003

     LIBRARIES = ["Imaging"]

Furthermore, if you run Tcl/Tk 8.4, you need to patch Tk/tkImaging.c
as well (sorry, this patch is against an even older version, but it
might hint at what to do):

I expect that PIL 1.1.4 final will fix these little problems.

Hope this helps.
