Hello,

First install PIL using:
   tar xvzf Imaging-1.1.3.tar.gz
   cd Imaging-1.1.3/libImaging
   ./configure
   make
   cd ..
   python setup.py build
   python setup.py install

Then extract reportlab to the python directory:
   cd /usr/lib/python2.2/site-packages
   tar xvzf ReportLab_1_17.tgz

This should do it.
