It's hard to know what your problem is without more information.  One 
potential stumbling block: PIL has dependencies on other open-source 
libraries, such as libjpeg and freetype.  You'll need to have 64-bit 
versions of them available when building and when running, as well.  
There are a number of ways to do that.  The simplest might be to 
download pre-built frameworks containing those libraries from here:

There are also build scripts there for building your own versions from 
scratch.
