It is called python-devel for CentOS 5, maybe it is the same for
FC5 and FC6.

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".
I tried to build libhid-0.2.16 and the SVN version under CentOS 5 and both
failed when swig is enabled.

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"

ERROR!
You probably have to install the development version of the Python package
for your distribution. The exact name of this package varies among them.
