error in configure script with Python

[plb]

Hello, 

I'm installing a package (fluxspace for fluxbox wm) and it requires
Python.  I have Python installed.  When I run the configure script I
get these errors at the end.

>checking for python... /usr/bin/python 
>checking for python version... 2.2 
>checking for python platform... linux2 
>checking for python >= 2.2... okay 
>checking for headers required to compile python extensions... found 
>checking for python-config... no 
>checking for Py_Initialize in -lpython2.2... no 
>checking for Py_Finalize in -lpython2.2... no 
>checking for Py_IsInitialized in -lpython2.2... no 
>configure: error: Unable to determine proper Python link flags. 

I'm not sure what I need to do to fix this as I do not know much about
Python? Any ideas?

Thank you,
plb
