Just wanted to add that I had PIL, Photo, ZPhoto, and ZPhotoAlbum working on my Debian system at home. I just used the deb binary packages that are part of potato, although I upgraded to the latest Zope version on unstable later. I wish I could tell you how to fix your problem, but PIL was already part of a Python package installed on my machine before I had Zope working.

Thanks Mike, I will. I will have to wait a few weeks, though, because it sounds to me as if what i need to do is rebuild Zope from source and right now its crush time and I just don't have the time to do it..we close in around two weeks for a week and I might get enough of a breather to tackle it.
So, basically, it seems to me, everybody who builds Zope from source gets it (PIL) working, everybody who doesn't, perhaps doesn't.
That would explain a lot..

Unless you are willing to spell it out *explicitly* *please* don't give me more advice on how to get PIL working, I give up. I've tried at least ten different helpful suggestions (and tried reinstalling it from scratch three times)..none of them have worked.. I'm currently using the 2.24 binary release of Zope running on Debian Linux (potato)
I'm using 2.3.2 (rebuilt from sid sources) on potato, and at least I've managed to get both PIL and the Photo product (0-4-3, http://www.zope.org/Members/Drew/Photo) working this afternoon. No trouble at all, and I've not yet installed Drew's PhotoAlbum .zexp
Relevant products: zope 2.3.2-2 (http://www.cae.tntech.edu/~mwr/zope_2.3.2-2_i386.deb), task-python-web 1.2 (meta-package for installing Zope, python-imaging aka PIL, etc.)

So that's not explicit instructions, but it can be done. Email me off-list if you can't reproduce it.
