ERROR!
You probably have to install the development version of the Python package
for your distribution. The exact name of this package varies among them.

I'm working in an environment where I need to build all dependencies from scratch. I've failed at the first hurdle with:

Note I have built the python install i need to use myself. So when i try:
$ ./configure --prefix=`pwd`/gt-inst LDFLAGS="-L/home/gs/Python-2.7.6/python-2.7.6/lib/python2.7/lib"
Or similar i just get the same error.
What is different about the python install graph-tool configure expects?
Thanks
