Embedding Python in C ---HELP!

Question

See more:

By typing "which python" I confirmed that I have python in my environment. The version my python is 2.6.5. However when I include Python.h (#include <python.h>) I got the error:

# gcc -o EmbPythonInC_1.exe EmbPythonInC_1.c
EmbPythonInC_1.c:2:20: fatal error: Python.h: No such file or directory
compilation terminated.

Thanks,

Tom

Well, where are your python .h files? This is as simple as that. And I seriously doubt your Python library is really EmbPythonInC_1.exe... :-)
