hello

I'm entirely new to boost and also to python...

For my first step I'm still  having troubles for compiling my c++ code.

just including <boost/python.hpp> leads my gcc to output these errors.

g++ -O0 -g3 -Wall -c -fmessage-length=0 -oEnvPython.o ../EnvPython.cpp
In file included from /usr/include/boost/python/detail/prefix.hpp:13,
                 from /usr/include/boost/python/args.hpp:8,
                 from /usr/include/boost/python.hpp:11,
                 from ../EnvPython.h:4,
                 from ../EnvPython.cpp:1:

/usr/include/boost/python/detail/wrap_python.hpp:50:23: error: 
pyconfig.h: No such file or directory
/usr/include/boost/python/detail/wrap_python.hpp:74:24: error: 
patchlevel.h: No such file or directory
/usr/include/boost/python/detail/wrap_python.hpp:77:2: error: #error 
Python 2.2 or higher is required for this version of Boost.Python.
/usr/include/boost/python/detail/wrap_python.hpp:141:21: error: 
Python.h: No such file or directory

( and then a thousand lines of errors...)

I didn't manually build boost and boost.python. I'm running Debian, and 
I have the corresponding .so files for boost and python in my usr/lib. I 
have python 2.3 2.4 and 2.5 installed.

pyconfig.h seems to be auto-generated. but i haven't a single clue for 
launching this ?

do you know about my problem ?
