[Python-Dev] Compiling Free Cad on Rhel5

[Vikas Mahajan]

Hello to all......Today I was trying to install FreeCAD 0.10 from its source
code. I am using RHEL5. I have firstly installed python2.6.5 from source and
also tested it. Python is working fine. But when I try to compile FreeCAD
0.10, I got following configure error :

#./configure --with-python-include=/usr/local/include/python2.6
--with-python-lib=/usr/local/lib/python2.6

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

checking for Python.h... yes
checking for libpython2.6... no
configure: error:
        **** Cannot find Python2.6 devel files. ****

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I also searched internet for python-devel source code but was unable to find
any such pacage. Please help me to resolve this python error.

Thanks
