Hi All, I am getting this error, while trying to compile latest git src.

./autogen.sh --prefix=$HOME/usr --enable-compile-warnings=error running bootstrap... ./bootstrap: Error: 'python-config' not found

./bootstrap: Please install the prerequisite programs Failed to bootstrap, please investigate.

I am ubuntu, and all packages related to python-config are installed.. as seen by the 'i' below...

aptitude search python-config i python-configglue - Glues together optparse.OptionParser and ConfigParser.ConfigParser i python-configobj - simple but powerful config file reader and writer for Python

Can someone help, what i am missing ? Those are unrelated. The python-config we need is what python-dev (or similarly called package) should provide.

thanks, that worked... the error is indeed misleading.
