[Tutor] embedding python in a C app on a linux box...

[Jason Child]

Ok, so I have a decent grasp of python and have coded quite a few scripts. I
must say that the language rocks. I would like to embed python into a C app
to provide some scripting support. It would seem that my problem lies with
not understanding the environment (linux) well enough. First off, I must
include the Python.h header escplicitly (via #include
"/usr/include/python2.3/Python.h"). How do I add the correct dir to the
search path for the <> format? Second, when I call Py_Initialize() I get:

/tmp/ccXZxNHZ.o(.text+0x11): In function `main':
: undefined reference to `Py_Initialize'
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status

Now, I think it is because the linker isnt finding the right lib to attach.
Is there a switch to use for gcc for make it? -L /path/to/libs perhaps?

Any and all advice/help is welcome.
