No, "*.a" files are static libraries only need for linking.

PIL contains a shared object. If this is linked against a dynamic
library (they have names of the form "*.so" and you can use the command "ldd"
to check which shared objects (that's what the "so" stands for)
are required), then it must be either at a standard place or
reachable via "LD_LIBRARY_LATH". A candidate may be "libjpeg.so".

This does not look like a PIL installation problem.

You should have a DTMLMethod named "view" which calls "tag".
"tag" is an "Image" method but apparently, there is not image
on the DTML namespace at the moment.
