Here's the fragment of my csh script which builds PIL. I unpack PIL, libpng, libjpeg, libfreetype, and libtiff in a directory, then build them with this. Note that the key in building PIL is to replace the reference to "/sw" with the pointer to where you want to install it, in this example "/usr/local". You may need to run this as sudo, depending on what else you've done to your Python installation -- this one's keyed to the standard /usr/bin/python.
