Something similar happened to me, I solved this way
sudo apt-get install libjpeg libjpeg-dev libfreetype6 libfreetype6-dev zlib1g-dev
And try there installing via pip install PIL.
More on what pip is can be found here. In short is a convenient (and becoming a standard) way of installing python libraries.
if it continues to fail, it can be due to PIL searching those libraries in a different path.
It turns out that the APT installations put the libraries under /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu and PIL will search for them in /usr/lib/. So you have to create symlinks for PIL to see them.
Try to see if libjpeg and libz libs exist in /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu and make a symlink this way
sudo ln -s /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libz.so.1 /lib/
sudo ln -s /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libfreetype.so.6 /usr/lib/
sudo ln -s /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libjpeg.so.62 /usr/lib/
