anyone know what all this means?

Hi again!

Good to see that you're still here, despite all your previous problems!

I don't know if you would take my advice anymore but anyways ... I think you need a package called python-devel, if that's not installed yet. Check if it's installed with this command:
rpm -q python-devel

If it's not, try finding it. You could also make a global search for the missing file, to see if it's on your system:
find / -name 'Python.h' 2>/dev/null

That cryptic command will take a while scanning your entire disk for the file name. The '2>/dev/null' means that all error messages (some "Permission denied" stuff) will be supressed.

Look, I've really got to get to work now, before I'm reported as a missing person, but I'll try to sneak in here some time during the day when my boss isn't looking. OK

Good luck!

Think this might be looking for the Python development package - could be wrong

i did a search for python and all i could find were rpms for fedora core. can i use these for mandrake?

ok i found this file python-2.3.3-2mdk.i586.rpm. i clicked on it and then tryed to run make again and the same error occured.

I can't tell for sure, since I don't run Mandrake myself, but I think that you need this package:
http://rpmfind.net//linux/RPM/mandra...2mdk.i586.html

Martin

holy crap, i installed that file and it took like 4 mins to make. still errored at the very end, but it said it couldn't find some library files. i'm going to try updateing mandrake again. last time it errored. i have no idea what's wrong with that update utility. it keeps saying my signitures on my disks are bad. oh well.

i ran mandrake update and it downloaded a ton of files then it says they all have bad sigs. and asks if i want to install them anyway. ofcourse i click yes, but then it says that they can't be installed. pssshh. how is it my problem that they have bad sigs, i'm downloading them, they aren't my files. stupid mandrake, and this is suppose to be the 'easy' distro. i guess i should switch to red hat.............. or win3.11!!! hahaha i keed i keed. i don't give up that easily.

anything?

Try using the rpm instead. You will loose less hair.

EEK

how is that an rpm

Strange, I thought that I selected the right one... Try this.
