Installation issues on Ubuntu server Hardy Heron

[Jason]

Hey all--

I've got a pretty much fresh-out-the-box Ubuntu Hardy Heron server
install, on which I'm trying to put mod_wsgi 2.1. After running ./
configure a few times & eventually installing all the prerequisites
(mainly apache2-threaded-dev) so configure's (apparently) happy, when
I run "make" I get the longest list of errors I've ever seen; starts
thusly:

/usr/bin/apxs2 -c -I/usr/include/python2.5 -DNDEBUG mod_wsgi.c -L/
usr/lib/python2.5/config -lpython2.5 -lpthread -ldl -lutil
/usr/share/apr-1.0/build/libtool --silent --mode=compile --tag=disable-
static i486-linux-gnu-gcc -prefer-pic -DLINUX=2 -D_GNU_SOURCE -

include/apr-1.0 -I/usr/include/postgresql -I/usr/include/python2.5 -
DNDEBUG -c -o mod_wsgi.lo mod_wsgi.c && touch mod_wsgi.slo
mod_wsgi.c:113:20: error: Python.h: No such file or directory
mod_wsgi.c:114:21: error: compile.h: No such file or directory
mod_wsgi.c:115:18: error: node.h: No such file or directory
mod_wsgi.c:116:20: error: osdefs.h: No such file or directory
mod_wsgi.c:119:2: error: #error Sorry, mod_wsgi requires at least
Python 2.3.0.
mod_wsgi.c:123:2: error: #error Sorry, mod_wsgi requires that Python
supporting thread.
mod_wsgi.c:140: error: expected '=', ',', ';', 'asm' or
'__attribute__' before 'Auth_Type'

...any ideas how I'm screwing this up? Or, alternately, if anyone can
point me to repository which has at least mod_wsgi 2.0 available
(mod_wsgi 1.3 is the most recent I can get in apt, even w/backports
enabled-- do I have to add "unstable" somewhere in my sources.list?),
that would probably do me fine.

Many many thanks!

It looks like, for one, you don't have the Python development packages installed on your machine. I'm a little surprised it's complaining about threaded python, most Unbutu installs I've done have that compiled into Python. So I'm think as your first step just install the python dev package.

Eureka! Thing is, I've been through this exact issue before-- I knew
it was something like that. Thanks very much Carl!
