PIL problems

[Jamie Bohr]

I am trying to allow JPEG's to be used for portraits inside of Plone.  I
have Googled and found I need to install the Pytphon Imaging Library (PIL);
after that all should be good.  I did that, but I an error that tells me
there is a missing library.  The below is a log of what I did.  From what I
can tell Python sees the library but .. (I'm used to Perl so I have no
idea).  I am working on a RHEL v4 x64 system.

Thank you in advance for your time.

To add a missing option, make sure you have the required
library, and set the corresponding ROOT variable in the
setup.py script.

To check the build, run the selftest.py script.
