Python headers

Asked by WSCCGreg

After checking for python version (2.5) and platform (linux2) and python extension module directory, I receive this error message when installing:

checking for headers required to compile python extensions... not found
configure: error: could not find Python headers

Any suggestions?
I'm running Ubuntu 7.04

Now I'm having this same problem, but using that command returns a "Couldn't find package python-dev" message. Has the newer version changed python requirements?

Depending on your distro,

Debian: http://packages.debian.org/python-dev
Ubuntu: http://packages.ubuntu.com/python-dev
