	Sorry, I guess I wasn't clear enough. I followed those instruction 
originally, and got errors. I posted them here, and was referred to the 
page http://www.zope.org/Members/regebro/PIL_zope for additional 
information. I followed those steps exactly, including the tests for 
the jpeg library and the corresponding changes to the Makefile when 
compiling PIL. After these additional steps, I got the errors I noted 
above. My question was why, even *after* following the steps to ensure 
that the jpeglib was correctly installed and verifying that the library 
is indeed in /usr/local/lib, PIL is still not able to find/use it.
