It means the compiler can't find the python2.6 library; it's not in any of the 
directories where gcc searches for libraries.

You can specify (additional) directories where gcc should search for libraries 
via the LIBRARY_PATH environment variable.

At least according to my MinGW documentation for Windows, but I assume that it's 
the same in Linux.
