Thanks: my next step also involves including Python.h, as documented in section 5.1 Very High Level Embedding :

[http://docs.python.org/ext/high-level-embedding.html]

The problem is this header file does not define the required symbols for the C code example at the above link :

	collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
	/Developer/usr/bin/../libexec/gcc/i686-apple-darwin8/4.0.1/ld:
	Undefined symbols:
		_Py_Initialize
		_Py_Finalize
		_PyRun_SimpleString

I've unsuccessfully tried all of the Python.h files I could find in my tree...

Does anybody know how to link such a simple program properly?

Or merely give me a clue about what I'm doing wrong?
