Looks like your running Ubuntu, you can install PIL using
the package 
management system, it will handle all dependencies for you,
same for 
python. Either use Synaptic or from the command line
$sudo apt-get install python-imaging
if you need it for python 2.4
$sudo apt-get install python2.4-imaging

When you get around to Zope you can also use the package
manager.
Personally I prefer to do this step from source. On Ubuntu
there's a 
great tool to allow you to log things you install from
source, called 
checkinstall, I recommend you use it any time you're
installing from 
source so it makes it easy to uninstall or upgrade.
