I was struggling due to this problem for two days now and got the solution just now so thought I will share it
with you all; as I don’t want anyone else to land up in trouble as i did so I am using Hardy and was trying to build subvertpy from source as the package was not available for same.
The problem occurs due to absence of Python development headers as many python modules have dependency on Python development headers to compile.
Solution is to install development headers using package manager; open the terminal and issue the following commands
and select the package that matches your installation as in my case it is python2.5-dev; issue the following command to install it
This will install development headers in /usr/include/python2.5 and now you can build your python module successfully.

Installing python2.6-dev solved it.

I am on Ubuntu 11.04. I was trying to install latest Django, and this got me past my problem compiling MySQLdb. You could actually select the python-dev package in synaptic, and it will select the right python release for you (2.7 in my case).
I stopped in just to say that this helped me overcome a problem I was having with cxfreeze on debian stable
So thanks!
Very much appreciated!
sudo apt-get install python2.6-dev
saved me lots of time building yenc on Ubuntu 11.04
This solved problems installing Root with pyroot from trunk on Ubuntu 11.10.
Before, the python command
import ROOT
got me an import error:
import libPyROOT as _root
ImportError: No module named libPyROOT
After running
sudo apt-get install python-dev
and recompiling Root, pyRoot works flawlessly
Thanks !
Thank you!!
Thank u so much:)
