I have posted a quick install page on my web site (squeezed it in). I 
made this page more than 7 months ago to supplement an install doc I was 
working on. It included a Solaris page and a Fedora page (can't find the 
completed copies of those - somewhere on a backup CD it would think.).

Never the less, it has a section on compiling PIL (1.1.4) manually that 
may help you. The page is for SuSE Linux, but I know the instructions to 
work for RedHat 8.0 and Fedora C2. I have no idea if it is valid for 
RedHat EL. Also note that it is for PIL 1.1.4. I have not tried PIL 
1.1.5 on any or my boxes, so I can't guarantee the results. It may help 
you, so I posted it.

The URL is:

Feel free to ask more questions if you are having problems with the 
instructions.

Thanks.
