htmltotext fails to install on Ubuntu 8.10

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. easy_install htmltotext

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?

Expected: tar.gz package gets downloaded, compiled, installed.
Log with actual output is attached. In short, it complains about undefined
strchr.

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
htmltotext 0.7.2, Ubuntu 8.10, 32bit, gcc (Ubuntu 4.3.2-1ubuntu11) 4.3.2

Please provide any additional information below.

This problem was fixed when I added "#include <string.h>" to htmlparse.cc.
Then there was another problem that I didn't have python-dev installed (gcc
complained about missing Python.h), after that it compiled, installed and
seems to work!

I've added the #include <string.h> and generated htmltotext 0.7.3 (and uploaded 
it to
pypi).  Hopefully, this will now just work, out of the box.

(I've not added something to depend on python-dev - I'm not sure how to do that 
- if
you know, any advice would be appreciated - though it's not hard for users to 
fix,
either.)
