It installs it to the site-packages directory. It actually will tell
you exactly where it's going to put stuff if you click "customize" and
read the descriptions for the component packages.

There isn't a selftest installed. What I suggested was trying to
actually use it. My guess is that something in your PIL source
directory is getting imported instead of the installed verison, so the
selftest there fails.

If it still doesn't work, then install the legacy package, which was
built and tested with the exact platform/python combination you're
using.

Yes. Perhaps the installer in Mac OS X 10.3 does arch stripping though.
