I've been trying to compile the source-code of the avant-window-navigator that is being developed now.. But when I try to use the ./configure that prepare the files for "make" it stops, when it's checking the python main library.

Output:
Code:
checking for the distutils Python package... yes
checking for Python include path... -I/usr/include/python2.6
checking for Python library path... -L/usr/lib -lpython2.6
checking python extra libraries... -L/usr/lib -lz -lpthread -ldl  -lutil
checking python extra linking flags... -Xlinker -export-dynamic -Wl,-O1 -Wl,-Bsymbolic-functions
checking consistency of all components of python development environment... no
configure: error: in `/home/artheus/Desktop/avn-src':
configure: error:
  Could not link test program to Python. Maybe the main Python library has been
  installed in some non-standard library path. If so, pass it to configure,
  via the LDFLAGS environment variable.
  Example: ./configure LDFLAGS="-L/usr/non-standard-path/python/lib"
  ============================================================================
   ERROR!
   You probably have to install the development version of the Python package
   for your distribution.  The exact name of this package varies among them.

I am newb at compiling and developing in Linux, so if there is a really simple solution to this, please take it easy on me ^^
