I don't have a real solution for you, but it sounds like one or both 
were linked incorrectly.  You can try the PIL from my site, which is 
probably better than the one on Jack's because it has libjpeg 
statically included and includes better TIFF support.

I will be deprecating this database in favor of a Panther database in 
the next few days.. Sorry guys, but I don't run Jaguar anymore.  I will 
leave all of the Jaguar packages and plists up, but I will no longer be 
maintaining them.  However, as a consolation, I'll add a wiki entry to 
pythonmac.org about how to run your own Package Manager database and 
make it easy/obvious to find the tools that I use to do so.

If you're on Panther, wait a few days.. I'll have a database up pretty 
soon.
