Yup.  I downloaded, ./configure'd, and ran make.  The end of my 
configure log looks like this:

**************************************************************
Summary:
Fftw3:                   yes (using fftw3f)

PureData:                no
**************************************************************
Configuration completed successfully. Type 'make' to build aubio


After ~220 lines of make log, make errors out like this:

All the rest of the errors look related to a missing Python.h.
I've looked all through my distribution (Mandriva 2007.0) package
file list and can't find a file of that name.

Where *should* Python.h come from?  Maybe my installation is broken.
At least it seems incomplete somehow.

I've looked through the entire (short) aubio mailing list archives 
for this, and didn't find anything that applies.

I looked through the ./configure --help to see if there was a way to 
avoid depending on Python.h, but I didn't find anything obvious.

Any ideas on how to get aubio to finish compiling?

Thanks....
