    IOError: decoder zip not available when using PIL

    I keep getting the error message "IOError: decoder zip not available"
    when using the Python Imaging Library. The error has occurred when
    trying to work with PNGs or JPEGs or when loading the fonts supplied
    with PIL. I can work with GIFs. I assume that I did something wrong
    when I built Python and/or PIL, but I'm at a loss as to what.

    I am running Python 2.5.1 with PIL 1.1.6 under SUSE Linux 10.2. I am
    stuck working on my own because our SysAdmin staff is loathe to
    install any Python packages.

    Thanks in advance!
