I've just loaded Ubuntu onto my laptop and am trying to
install adesklets. I have Python 2.4 loaded, but when
installing, I received an error that it can't finde the
include. I found that the --with-python-force-detection
switch doesn't fix the problem. I saw that the configure
script was looking for /usr/include/python, but system
doesn't have this, so I created a symbolic link pointing to
python2.4 directory and now it's past that point, but now I'm
getting another error. When I run configure, I get
this:
checking for a Python interpreter with version >= 2.3... python
checking for python... /usr/bin/python
checking for python version... 2.4
checking for python platform... linux2
checking for python script directory... ${prefix}/lib/python2.4/site-packages
checking for python extension module directory... ${exec_prefix}/lib/python2.4/site-packages
checking for Python include path...
configure: error: cannot find Python include path
Any suggestions? I do still consider myself a newbie to
Linux, so, please forgive any ignorance in advance.

<edit> Forgot to mention that I found the previous
message about problems installing to Debian. I ran the script
provided and received the following:
Initial path: /usr
