Maybe the main Python library has been installed in some non-standard library path. If so, pass it to configure, via the LDFLAGS environment variable. Example: ./configure LDFLAGS="-L/usr/non-standard-path/python/lib"

ERROR! You probably have to install the development version of the Python package for your distribution. The exact name of this package varies among them.

@vonj more info please

It is not finding python lib did you try

./configure LDFLAGS="-L/usr/non-standard-path/python/lib"

I can but only guess...

It is in the std /usr/lib location. (Vanilla Ubuntu 13.04 with python dev package.)
