Don't think so, as I don't see any errors in the build, and the closing
summary from "python setup.py build" reads
--------------------------------------------------------------------
PIL 1.1.5 BUILD SUMMARY
--------------------------------------------------------------------
version 1.1.5
platform cygwin 2.4.1 (#1, May 27 2005, 18:02:40)
[GCC 3.3.3 (cygwin special)]
--------------------------------------------------------------------
--- TKINTER support ok
--- JPEG support ok
--- ZLIB (PNG/ZIP) support ok
--- FREETYPE2 support ok
--------------------------------------------------------------------
Strangely enough all the tests pass, too!
regards
Steve
