Missing Python.h and impossible to find

Vote count:

0

I know there are already similar questions about the missing Python.h but NO solution worked for me by now.

I need Python libraries in order to use Tossim, which is a tinyOS simulator (http://tinyos.net).

Python appears to be already installed on my Ubuntu 12.04 system. In fact whenever I run the command

$ python -V

I get the output 2.7.3

Anyway when I try to locate Python.h no file is found. Python libraries are located in usr/lib/ but no headers in the folder.

Mind that I already tried the most common solution for this problem, that is $ sudo apt-get install python-dev , and also $ sudo apt-get update. None of them worked for me.

What should I do now? I tried to remove and reinstall python-dev, with no success. I only think to manually download and place the header into the folder usr/lib/python2.7. But I doubt it is a good idea. Can somebody help me? Thank you in advance.`
