[Tutor] Installing PIL

[Olli Rajala]

Hi again...

Thanks for some suggestions about PIL, it seems to be enough for my
needs. Well, it would probably be, if I just could install it... I'm
building my site in the linux-machine at school, so I have only normal
account and so on, but it shouldn't matter, should it? I don't know
what info to give you, but I give everything I think is relevant. If
something is missing, please forgive me, I'll try to dig it up then.

So, here's the problem.
