Re: Orca Python headers not found

[Willie Walker <William Walker Sun COM>]

Hi Michael:

It's looking for Python.h, which will typically live
under /usr/include/python2.4/Python.h.  

What kind of system are you building Orca on and are you passing any
flags to the 'configure' command (e.g., --prefix=/usr)?
