It means the compiler can't find the python2.6 library; it's not in any of the
directories where gcc searches for libraries.

You can specify (additional) directories where gcc should search for libraries
via the LIBRARY_PATH environment variable.

At least according to my MinGW documentation for Windows, but I assume that it's
the same in Linux.


Cheers & hth.,

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

You need to install the python development libraries. For example if you are
doing this on a Fedora or Red Hat Enterprise Linux system, execute the command:

$ yum install python-devel

....to install the necessary libraries.
