Here's the invocation I used, with libjpeg in /sw, for PIL 1.1.4. You  
should modify it for your location of libjpeg.

% cd libImaging
% LDFLAGS="-L/sw/lib" CPPFLAGS="-I/sw/lib" ./configure
% make JPEGINCLUDE=/sw/include libImaging.a
% cd ..
% python setup.py install

Actually, this is also the command line that Package Manager uses when  
installing PIL from source.

Sorry, I should have explained, you've apparently missed the discussion  
on Package Manager here.

Package Manager is a MacPython-specific tool that downloads and  
installs distutils-based Python extension packages. After you've done a  
framework install you'll find it in  
/Applications/MacPython-2.3/PackageManager, or in the "File" menu of  
the IDE. The terms "PackMan" and "pimp", when you see them on this  
list, mean roughly the same.

After a framework build, start the IDE and look at the "MacPython Help"  
in it's help menu. It's only a couple of pages, but it should give you  
an idea of the functionality MacPython adds over unix-Python. And, as  
always, if there's stuff missing or unclear: please report!

Thanks! I will look into it. It won't work with PackMan as-is (as this  
does automatic installs I can't really edit setup.py files), but there  
may be a way to beat it into submission.

Strange... Does anyone else who uses Python from Apache have an idea  
what could be going on here? Maybe it uses a different site.py or  
actively removes site-packages from sys.path?
