Dear All:-
I had to start over installing aureservoir, every thing was smooth till i found this error
--------------------------------------
Checking for C++ header file aureservoir/aureservoir.h... yes
Checking for C++ library flens... yes
Checking for C++ header file flens/flens.h... yes
Checking for C header file Python.h... no
Did not find python headers !
---------------------------------------------
This is also the code that caused this error

# do the checks
conf = Configure(env)
if checking:
if not conf.CheckCXXHeader('aureservoir/aureservoir.h'):
print 'Did not find aureservoir header (aureservoir/aureservoir.h) !'
Exit(1)
if not conf.CheckLib('flens', language="C++"):
print 'Did not find FLENS library !'
Exit(1)
if not conf.CheckCXXHeader('flens/flens.h'):
print 'Did not find FLENS header (flens/flens.h) !'
Exit(1)
if not conf.CheckCHeader('Python.h'):
print 'Did not find python headers !'
Exit(1)
if not conf.CheckLib('fftw3', language="C"):
print 'Did not find FFTW3 library !'
Exit(1)
if not conf.CheckLib('fftw3f', language="C"):
print 'Did not find FFTW3 single precision library !'
Exit(1)
if not conf.CheckHeader('fftw3.h'):
print 'Did not find FFTW3 header !'
Exit(1)
env = conf.Finish()

I installed, python2.5 and python 2.6 and I also got nothing, any suggestion for this ?
Thanks on advance
and hope not bothering

Headers are always in the ' -dev ' packages.

sudo apt-get install python2.6-dev libfftw3-dev
( Or 'python2.5-dev' )

.. Alternatively have a look in Synaptic ...
....
When configure or 'make' stops because of missing
<name> , it always means (lib)<name>-dev .
.....

Thanks for the advice, i already did that
and here is the o\p of the terminal
moha@moha:~$ sudo apt-get install python2.6-dev libfftw3-dev

python2.6-dev is already the newest version.
libfftw3-dev is already the newest version.

the problem still exist
any other advice ?

Wahoo, Thanks a lot, i needed python2.5-dev
Thanks a lottt

Yes, you can never know, what 'configure' is
using to decide OK, if "python dev" is present.

If /usr/bin/python is accepted, we need the python
connected to that, e.g. python2.5-dev .

If it's Python.h , you can't know which.

Worst case : A two part application ...
The first part looks for and says yes to a Python.h
from 2.6, and may or may not compile.
.. The second looks for /usr/bin/python only,
but can't use 2.6 .. needs 2.5 .
