from pythonmac.org, and I try that, only to fail with this message:

"You cannot install PIL 1.1.6 on this volume. PIL requires System
Python 2.5 to install."

I don't know how "System Python 2.5" differs from the Python 2.5 that
just came on this new MacBook Pro, the one that starts out

Actually, that is an inaccurate error message -- what you need is the python.org python, not the one installed by Apple (yes, I would expect that "system Python 2.5" would be Apple's but that installer pre-dates 10.5

But the end result is, I am striking out here installing PIL. What can I do?

Have you had a look at the rest of this mailing list? This is a frequently asked question. You either install the official Python 2.5 from python.org or you use the OS X PIL package by Christopher Barker.

actually, It's not mine, and it's the one that requires the python.org package anyway. So your choices are:

Either install the python.org python or find and compile all the dependencies, then compile PIL. Search this list and the web for pointers on how to do that.
