1. unpack Imaging-1.0b1.tar.gz on the same level as
you unpacked Python.

$ ls -l
drwxr-xr-x   8 eff      effie       1024 Mar 29 11:11 Imaging-1.0b1
drwxr-xr-x  15 eff      effie       1024 Mar 25 12:54 Python-1.5.2b2
drwxr-xr-x  14 eff      effie        512 Mar 25 10:32 tcl8.0.5
drwxr-xr-x  16 eff      effie        512 Mar 25 10:40 tk8.0.5

2. build a standard version of Python (preferrably with dynamically
loaded extensions)

3. build PIL according to the instructions in Imaging-1.0b1/README.

4. in Python-1.5.2/Modules/Setup, change the Tkinter
section to something like (this assumes that you've

# *** Uncomment and edit for PIL (TkImaging) extension only:

# *** Uncomment and edit to reflect where your X11 libraries are:
        -L/usr/lib \
# *** Always uncomment this; X11 libraries to link with:
        -lX11

5. rebuild Python.

(works for me, at least)
