Solution 1:

you probably don't have python-dev installed. Depending on your OS, you'd need to do something like this:

tells gcc to find the file in the same directory where test.c is, and

#include<file.h>

means to find file.h in the gcc include paths, which can be added with -I

gcc -I/path/to/the/file_h test.c

you might try

#include<Python.h>
