Assuming you have compiled PIL already:


1. All the header files in "~/Imaging-1.1.5/libImaging/" (that is, *.h) are copied to /usr/include/python2.3/PIL/ (you have to make the PIL dir in /usr/include/python2.3)
 

2. All the ".so" files (~/Imaging-1.1.5/*.so) and the files in PIL  (~/Imaging-1.1.5/PIL/*) are copied to  /usr/lib/python2.3/site-packages/PIL (you must make the PIL dir in site-packages)
and the PIL.pth (~/Imaging-1.1.5/PIL.pth) is copied to the /usr/lib/python2.3/site-packages dir

When you compile Skencil, use:

python ./setup.py configure  --imaging-include=/usr/include/python/PIL


here is how my looks:

$ ls /usr/lib/python/site-packages/
gtk-2.0  Numeric.pth  PIL.pth  pygtk.pth  pygtk.pyc  reportlab      _xmlplus
Numeric  PIL          Pmw      pygtk.py   README     reportlab.pth

note the PIL  dir and the PIL.pth file (you have to make the PIL dir 
there. And PIL.pth is was from "~/Imaging-1.1.5/PIL.pth").

$ ls /usr/lib/python/site-packages/PIL
GimpGradientFile.py  ImageWin.py        PcfFontFile.py         
XbmImagePlugin.pyc
GimpPaletteFile.py   _imaging.so        PcxImagePlugin.py      
XpmImagePlugin.py
IcoImagePlugin.py    _imagingtk.so      PcxImagePlugin.pyc     
XpmImagePlugin.pyc

This is just a sample of all the files in the PIL dir (the are too many 
to list here). (note _imaging.so and _imagingtk.so). These are the 
files  from "~/Imaging-1.1.5/*.so" and "~/Imaging-1.1.5/PIL/*"

# ls /usr/include/python/PIL/
Bit.h  Imaging.h   ImDib.h       Jpeg.h  QuantDefines.h  QuantHash.h  
QuantTypes.h  Zip.h
Gif.h  ImConfig.h  ImPlatform.h  Lzw.h   Quant.h         QuantHeap.h  Raw.h
 
These are the header files (you may have /usr/include/python2.3/PIL. 
Note you must make the PIL dir there. These files are from  
"~/Imaging-1.1.5/libImaging/*.h".).
