Some binary distros of Python omit this piece of the package. I
had a similar problem with the installation of WebStack on Debian
Linux. Alexis Roda's solution of
apt-get install python2.3-dev
got matters working for me. Likely there's a "python
development" package you can install for your version of Python
that should provide this header. You omit details regarding what
platform you're using, though you hint at something *nix-ish
given the path (/usr/local/lib/python...). If it's Debian, the
same solution may work for you too.
