[Image-SIG] a bug in PIL?

[Olli Rajala]

Hi! I tried to install PIL, but it gave some errors. I asked about
these errors in Python tutor-mailing list and they said to ask
here. So, here I am now. :) If you need some additional info, just
ask. Some guy said "After a quick look at setup.py I think this is a
bug. EXTRA_COMPILE_ARGS is only defined if Tkinter is present but it
is used outside the test for Tkinter." So, is this a bug or only an
(un)documented feature? ;)

Oh, I don't have root-account in that machine (it's in my school) so
is it possible to install/use PIL there?
