Python.h: No such file or directory

[quenbyako]

what i did:

./waf configure --prefix=/usr
./waf
./waf install --destdir=DESTDIR 
python3 ./setup.py install

what i get:

running install
running build
running build_ext
skipping 'src/python/termboxmodule.c' Cython extension (up-to-date)
building 'termbox' extension

src/python/termboxmodule.c:4:20: fatal error: Python.h: No such file or directory

is this normal? where i can find/build Python.h file?

You'd have to give us some sort of idea what your building on. Macs, Debian, Redhat, etc all have quite different places to put these things. I'm assuming from the x86_64-linux-gnu-gcc bit its a 64 bit linux flavor of some sort. So I guess I'd suggest looking to see if theres some sort of python-dev package that includes the python headers.

Try typing python-config --includes and see what happens

ow, sorry, system is Ubuntu 16.04 LTS, don't know what else i can share with you about my problem

[rofl0r]

you need to install python-dev or however the devel pkg is called on ubuntu. it ship's the developer's headers and static libs.
