You need to link with libpython. How you do this depends on the
toolchain you're using. Which build tool/IDE are you using? GNU
auto{conf,make}? CMake? waf? Something else? Check the documentation of
the tools you're using on how to use libraries - I don't think Python
behaves any differently to other libraries. For information on how to
initialize the interpreter in a program linked with -lpython, check the
Extending/Embedding section on docs.python.org

If you run into any problems along the way, don't hesitate to ask!
