Linker error under Ubuntu

[murphybeck]

Most of the time these are dependency-issues. You need to install 
a package called python-dev. This package includes header files, 
a static library and development tools for building Python 
modules, extending the Python interpreter or embedding Python in 
applications. When encountering this error please note before the 
error it may say you are missing a package or header file — you 
should find those and install them and verify if it works

For Python 2.x use:

$ sudo apt-get install python-dev

If you using 
[python](http://net-informations.com/python/iq/default.htm)3, try 
to replace python-dev with python3-dev

For a specific version of Python 3, replace x with the minor 
version in

$ sudo apt-get install python3.x-dev
