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?
