Well I wrote a quick cgi script to get the path .. here is the output:
['/export/server/web/CPSC461/cgi-bin', '/usr/local/lib/python2.2',
'/usr/local/lib/python2.2/plat-sunos5',
'/usr/local/lib/python2.2/lib-tk',
'/usr/local/lib/python2.2/lib-dynload',
'/usr/local/lib/python2.2/site-packages',
'/usr/local/lib/python2.2/site-packages/PIL']

Program used:
#!/usr/local/bin/python

import sys
import cgi

print "Content-Type: text/plain \n\n"
print sys.path

As one can see the PIL library is in the path .. but still for some
strange reason it can't find the _imaging extention..
It is sort of strange that it wouldn't pick it up then.. any more ideas?
