[BangPypers] Installation of SIP ( Python binding generator )

[Ashutosh Narayan]

Hi,

I have downloaded SIP tar file :sip-4.12.4.tar.gz
While building it using "make" I encountered the following error :

make[1]: Entering directory `/misc/tar_balls/projects_related/sip-4.12.4/sipgen'
make[1]: Nothing to be done for `all'.
make[1]: Leaving directory `/misc/tar_balls/projects_related/sip-4.12.4/sipgen'
make[1]: Entering directory `/misc/tar_balls/projects_related/sip-4.12.4/siplib'
gcc -c -pipe -fPIC -O2 -w -DNDEBUG -I. -I/usr/include/python2.7 -o siplib.o siplib.c
siplib.c:20:20: fatal error: Python.h: No such file or directory
compilation terminated.
make[1]: *** [siplib.o] Error 1
make[1]: Leaving directory `/misc/tar_balls/projects_related/sip-4.12.4/siplib'
make: *** [all] Error 2

Contents of /usr/include/python2.7/

-rw-r--r-- 1 root root  1751 2010-12-22 14:22 ImPlatform.h
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root  1317 2010-12-22 14:22 ImDib.h
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 19193 2010-12-22 14:22 Imaging.h
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 35791 2011-04-12 00:36 pyconfig.h

So, I think Python.h file is not there under /usr/include/python2.7/
Hence the building failed.

Anybody has encountered such error before ?

Thank you,
