Installing on Ubuntu 11.04 32-bit:

I had to...

to get jpeg support in PIL:
apt-get install libjpeg8-dev (not libjpeg62-dev)

to get png support in PIL (libz.so is not where it expects it to be):
sudo ln -s /usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/libz.so /usr/lib

I believe 64-bit Ubuntu will have libz.so in an also-wrong-but-different
place for PIL.

There are still some other things (Freetype, LittleCMS, TkInter) that I
don't have working in PIL ....could be similar to above where you need
alternate library or just symlinks.
