RPM?  the official PIL distribution is a .tar.gz file, available
from www.pythonware.com.  last time I checked, it definitely came
with both a README and an Imaging.h file.  if you have a source
RPM that doesn't include those files, complain to whoever pre-
pared that file, and get the original distribution.

but it sounds like your real problem is with the Sketch application.
did you see the PIL-specific notes in the Sketch installation guide?
it says:

  Tne point not mentioned in the PIL installation instructions are the
  headerfiles (.h files). For easier configuration of Sketch I recommend
  to install the files the following files found the libImaging
  subdirectory into a directory under the Python include directory:

     ImConfig.h  ImPlatform.h  Imaging.h

  (e.g. if your Python include directory is /usr/include/python1.5, put
  them into /usr/include/python1.5/Extensions)

e.g.

  $ cd Imaging-1.0
  $ mkdir /usr/include/python1.5/Extensions
  $ cp libImaging/Im*.h /usr/include/python1.5/Extensions

it's likely that PIL 1.1 will do this for you, but as of 1.0,
you have to copy the files yourself.
