  • I had the same issue - the answer [here](http://stackoverflow.com/a/6941608/214149) sorted things out for me. – Mac Apr 18 '13 at 00:39

It looks like you need the python 2.5 header files. You might be able to find them in synaptic under python2.5-dev or something similar.

  • I am not able to find a dev package for python2.5... take a look. – sorin Sep 19 '12 at 12:15
  • @sorin -- I might try installing something silly like `python2.5-celementtree` and hope that aptitude will fetch the other headers you require. Of course, you could always look for different repos as well. Unfortunately, `python2.5` is pretty old, and it's doubtful that it gets a lot of attention from the package maintainers. Is there a reason why you're limited to python2.5? – mgilson Sep 19 '12 at 12:23
  • For running tests on my packages, I have to keep 2.5 compatibility. – sorin Sep 19 '12 at 12:31

    @sorin -- Aside from googling and looking for additional ubuntu repos, or reinstalling python2.5 from source (which I doubt you want to do since you'll then loose all of your extensions), I'm out of ideas. – mgilson Sep 19 '12 at 12:34
