You need to install not only the python program but also the development libraries. I'm not familiar with the OpenBSD distribution but there may be a separate package with these include and lib files.

Hi, and thanks for wonderful software.
I'm trying to compile and install Lilypond 1.6.9 on OpenBSD 3.3, but I can't seem to get past the ./configure stage. I get the following error:
ERROR: Please install required programs: python.h (python-devel, python-dev or libpython-dev package)
Of course, I do have Python installed, recently built from source using the ports system, but there is no python.h to be found anywhere on my system. Here's what python calls itself:
Python 2.2.1 (#1, May 27 2003, 11:21:33) [GCC 2.95.3 20010125 (prerelease, propolice)] on openbsd3
So, where do I go from here? Do I need to find an older python? A different python? A newer (development, rather than stable) Lilypond? Or should I write a bogus python.h that ./configure can find?
