Hi,

I am working on FC 5 with Linux kerenl 2.6.15.1. I am facing the following
issue while trying to install libhid-0.2.16.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
----------------------------------
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.
 
============================================================================

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
------------------------------------------
To overcome this issue I installed the 'python-2.5.tgz ' from
<http://www.python.org/download/releases/2.5/> but still the same problem
persists. I am not sure whether it is a development package?

Can anyone send me the link from where I can download Python Development
Package which would be compatible with 
FC 5? 

Is Python Development Package essential? Can we not ignore it while
installing libhid through some configuration parameters.

Thanks

Anmol
