Not knowing WHICH flags you used when compiling this will be hard to answer.

From the looks of it your linker can't find the library that provides the
functions you're trying to use.

P.S.: Moving this to programming, as it's not actually a software question
but a coding one.

P.P.S.: Please wrap your output into CODE tags ....

You need to use the various flags provided by the python-config program, e.g.

Code:

gcc `python-config --cflags` myprog.c -o myprog `python-config --ldflags`
