Help for a newbie trying to run PIL

I have tried installing PIL and am running Python 1.5.2 under Win95. 
When I try running the viewer.py script I get the following errors. 
Sorry about cr/lf being messed up.  I just did a paste and cut.

Could someone point me to documentation on installing and using PIL?

Thanks.
