Embedding Python on a linux box

[askrius]

Hello.

I have a slack 10 box trying with python 2.3 installed on it. I am trying to embed python in a C application. The problem is that when I inherit the python header file (Python.h) I must refer to it by absolute path (#include "/usr/include/python2.3/Python.h") and then on linking it tells me that the function calls are undefined (calls to Py_Initialize(), etc).

Any advice on this problem? I am sure the fix is simple...

thanks

Are you specifying the python libraries with a -L /path/to/libs on the gcc command line?

Doh! That explains ALOT! Thanks for the advice.
