missing python.h

[albazero]

whenever i try to install something it says that it could not find python.h or that it doesnt exist

i check my packages and it says that python is installed, or is it another problem?

im using knoppix 3.7

btw i tried searching for the problem on the forums, but it kept giving me no search results

That file is in the python development package.

http://packages.debian.org/cgi-bin/s...able&arch=i386

Hm.. it's telling you that you don't have "python2.4" installed, try to apt-get that package first.

to add to SErz:

go to shell and try this

apt-get install python
then
apt-get -f install

it will work.
