I am working on FC 5 with Linux kerenl 2.6.15.1. I am facing the

configure: error:
Could not link test program to Python. Maybe the main Python
library has
been
installed in some non-standard library path. If so, pass it to
configure,
via the LDFLAGS environment variable.
Example: ./configure LDFLAGS="-L/usr/non-standard-path/python/lib"
What options did you pass to the configure script?
To overcome this issue I installed the 'python-2.5.tgz ' from
<http://www.python.org/download/releases/2.5/> but still the same
problem
persists. I am not sure whether it is a development package?
"development package" refers to your distribution's packaging system
(RPM, in your case), not the Python project's own release.
It is most likely called something like python-dev, and should be
available from the same YUM repository where you downloaded Python.
Is Python Development Package essential? Can we not ignore it while
installing libhid through some configuration parameters.
Yes, but before you reconfigure it, please gzip the copy of
config.log and email it to me off-list so that I can see how to turn
that error into a warning.
Afterwards, you can reconfigure with "--disable-swig".
