No supported python lib version found.

[Semo]

Sorry bothering. I have the same issue. After calling ./configure I get after a long trace this output:

configure: error: No supported python lib version found. Try --disable-python

This is false. When checking my system of course python is installed. Here please see after hitting TAB while entering the command:

admin@mars:~/telgram-cli/tg$ py
py3clean      pybuild       pydoc         pydoc3.4      pygettext3    python        python3       python3m      pyversions    
py3compile    pyclean       pydoc2.7      pygettext     pygettext3.4  python2       python3.4     pythontex     
py3versions   pycompile     pydoc3        pygettext2.7  pyhtmlizer    python2.7     python3.4m    pythontex3   

So, how to solve it, without breaking the ./configure program? I can't install python, because it's already installed and in various flavours, too. :tada:

What I tried was to set the file /etc/environment

PYTHON_BIN="python"
PYTHON_LIB="/usr/lib/python2.7"

Is there a preferred version at all? Please provide some infos.

Regards, Semo

I've got the same problem!

[ZackStone]

Install before run ./configure:

$ apt-get install python-dev autoconf pkg-config

Installing python-dev instead of libpython fixed it for me. Thanks!

[afshar-mohammad]

On CentOS I installed python-devel which solved the problem.

[NabiKAZ]

I have same problem in CentOS 6.9

Before install:

# yum install python python-devel
:
:
Package python-2.6.6-66.el6_8.x86_64 already installed and latest version
Package python-devel-2.6.6-66.el6_8.x86_64 already installed and latest version
:
:

Install:

[/tg]# ./configure
:
:
checking for python... disabled
:
:

After install:

[/tg]# telegram-cli -Z test.py
telegram-cli: invalid option -- 'Z'
:
:

But I don't have problem with lua.
