You want the version of python-devel to match the version of
python you have installed, and your system architecture.  If
you are running on an x86 machine, and have the standard RH6.2
python-1.5.2-13.i386.rpm installed, you want to install the
python-devel-1.5.2-13.i386.rpm from your RedHat 6.2 CD-ROM
(or any of the many RedHat FTP mirrors around the world).

rpm -ivh python-devel-1.5.2-13.i386.rpm

P.S. This discussion no longer has anything to do with PIL... so
please consult your RedHat Linux manual or the RedHat web site
about how to use RPM.
