fatal error: Python.h: No such file or directory
This question already has an answer here:
Looks like you haven't properly installed the header files and static libraries for python dev. Use your package manager to install them system-wide.
For apt ( Ubuntu, Debian... ):
sudo apt-get install python-dev # for python2.x installs
sudo apt-get install python3-dev # for python3.x installs
For yum ( CentOS, RHEL... ):
sudo yum install python-devel # for python2.x installs
sudo yum install python34-devel # for python3.4 installs
For dnf ( Fedora... ):
sudo dnf install python2-devel # for python2.x installs
sudo dnf install python3-devel # for python3.x installs
For zypper ( openSUSE... ):
sudo zypper in python-devel # for python2.x installs
sudo zypper in python3-devel # for python3.x installs
On Ubuntu, I was running Python 3 and I had to install
sudo apt-get install python3-dev
If you want to use a version of Python that is not linked to python3, install the associated python3.x-dev package. For example:
sudo apt-get install python3.5-dev
Two things you have to do.
Install development package for Python, in case of Debian/Ubuntu/Mint it's done with command:
sudo apt-get install python-dev
Second thing is that include files are not by default in the include path, nor is Python library linked with executable by default. You need to add these flags (replace Python's version accordingly):
-I/usr/include/python2.7 -lpython2.7
In other words your compile command ought to be:
gcc -Wall -I/usr/include/python2.7 -lpython2.7 utilsmodule.c -o Utilc
