Hi Bob,

You need to install the python-dev or python-devel package.
Ugh... that brought a whole new list of packages (and problems :-\) it seems
that my version of gnu/linux (fiesty era) doesn't have/can't find the
repositories for several of the required packages/updates/upgrades.
Feisty is no longer supported, it's possible that the repositories have
been withdrawn by now.
I tried apt's suggestion of adding the --fix-missing option to no avail.
Is there another way to make this work? I *really* don't want to rebuild
this server (actually, I'm not sure I *can* rebuild this server...).
Perils of using an unsupported distribution :( You could try to install
python from source, but your machine is fundamentally busted without
repositories to download software from. You can still get the ISOs from
http://old-releases.ubuntu.com/releases/feisty/, or change your apt config
to use http://old-releases.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/.
Cheers, Chris.
