Hello,

I'm trying to install PIL to make it work with the truetype method of 
ImageFont. But I get:

     ImportError: No module named _imagingft

I guess I need to have FREETYPE2 support available while installing python.

--------------------------------------------------------------------
PIL 1.1.5 BUILD SUMMARY
--------------------------------------------------------------------
version       1.1.5
platform      linux2 2.2.2 (#1, Feb 24 2003, 19:13:11)
               [GCC 3.2.2 20030222 (Red Hat Linux 3.2.2-4)]
--------------------------------------------------------------------
*** TKINTER support not available
--- JPEG support ok
--- ZLIB (PNG/ZIP) support ok
*** FREETYPE2 support not available
--------------------------------------------------------------------


But I don't know what I have to install to have the FREETYPE2 support 
available.

Thanks for your help.

Best regards,
