Can't get the thing to compile...

[Alexandre Aractingi]

... actually I can't get past the ./configure stage...

I am using a Mandrake 9.0 Linux distribution, and I have tetex, python
and libpython-devel installed (from Mandrake packages). I downloaded
Lilypond 1.6.6, but ./configure says :

ERROR: Please install required programs:  python.h (python-devel,
python-dev or libpython-dev package)

Now if I try to do the same with 1.7.4, everything is ok regarding
Python, but it says I need guile-config 1.6, which I only have in
version 1.4.

So what do you think, do I really have to install guile 1.6 to get the
thing compiled, or does somebody know a quick workaround to make 1.6.6
compile properly?

Thanks a lot!
