Your error message suggests the compiler couldn't find the Python 
headers. Do you have Python 2.6 installed ? Are the headers in 
/usr/include/python2.6 ? If not, you need to adjust your command line to 
whatever Python installation you have. (If you use system python 
packages, make sure to also install the "python-dev" package, which 
provides the headers as well as linkable DSOs.)

HTH,
