Make sure that libjpeg62-dev is installed
'sudo apt-get install libjpeg62-dev'

Try run 'python setup.py build_ext -f' to force setup.py to rebuild 
everything with JPEG. And 'sudo python setup.py install' should install 
PIL with JPEG support.

It should work on Ununtu 7.10 (works for me at least).

However, if you want Tkinter support, you should edit setup.py and change 
TCL_ROOT variable:
TCL_ROOT = '/usr/lib/tcl8.4', '/usr/include/tcl8.4'

And make sure that you have tcl/tk libraries/headers:
sudo apt-get install tcl8.4-dev tk8.4-dev
