query regarding embeding python in C

[Vardhman Jain]

Hi,
	I am trying out the concept of python code being executed from a C 
program. I got a peice of code from the tutorial but I don't know how to 
compile/use it

The code is
#include <Python.h>

int
main(int argc, char *argv[])
{
      Py_Initialize();
        PyRun_SimpleString("from time import time,ctime\n"
                                     "print 'Today is',ctime(time())\n");
          Py_Finalize();
            return 0;
}

Now If I do "c++ temp.c -I /usr/include/python2.2/" I get the errors
[vardhman at linuxAddict TA]$ c++ temp.c  -I /usr/include/python2.2/
/tmp/ccnpr9em.o(.text+0x11): In function `main':
: undefined reference to `Py_Initialize'
/tmp/ccnpr9em.o(.text+0x1e): In function `main':
: undefined reference to `PyRun_SimpleString'
/tmp/ccnpr9em.o(.text+0x26): In function `main':
: undefined reference to `Py_Finalize'
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status

Can some one tell me how to compile and use this code.
