I tried the py2.6 binary on OSX 10.4. The package installs fine but it
can't really load an image. When I open a jpg, I can read its size but
as soon as I try to load the data, I get an import error:

ImportError: The _imaging C module is not installed

When I try to import _imaging manually I get:

ImportError: dlopen(./_imaging.so, 2): Symbol not found: _clock$UNIX2003
  Referenced from: ./_imaging.so
  Expected in: dynamic lookup

I don't know what that UNIX2003 means? Is that a special version of
clock() that's not compatible with the one provided here on 10.4?

Cheers,
