Problems compiling PIL under Cygwin

Hi group,

I'm trying to build PIL under Cygwin (for use with the Skencil vector 
graphics program), and I couldn't find a better forum for questions than 
this.

I'm using Python 2.3.4, and when I run "python setup.py build_ext -i" I 
get the following output:

running build_ext
building '_imaging' extension
gcc -fno-strict-aliasing -DNDEBUG -g -O3 -Wall -Wstrict-prototypes 
-DHAVE_LIBJPEG -DHAVE_LIBZ -I/usr/include/freetype2 -IlibImaging 
-I/usr/include -I/usr/local/include -I/usr/include/python2.3 -c 
libImaging/GifEncode.c -o 
build/temp.cygwin-1.5.12-i686-2.3/libImaging/GifEncode.o
C:\cygwin\bin\python2.3.exe (1352): *** unable to remap 
C:\cygwin\bin\tk84.dll to same address as parent(0x760000) != 0xBB0000
       4 [main] python 1984 sync_with_child: child 1352(0x238) died 
before initialization with status code 0x1
     282 [main] python 1984 sync_with_child: *** child state child 
loading dlls

Does anybody know what could be done to solve this?
