Set to what? That isn't your problem below though so it may be just fine.

Do you mean "python", not "omnipython"? I'm not a python version expert, 
but I have been having good luck with python 2.2, and would think that 
2.1 is preferable to 1.5.

Here is the same line on my x86 Linux box:

g++ -c -O2 -Wall -Wno-unused -fexceptions 
-DIDLMODULE_VERSION="\"0x2420\"" -I/usr/include 
-DPYTHON_INCLUDE="<python2.2/Python.h>" -fPIC -I. -I. 
-I../../../../include -I../../../../include -D__OSVERSION__=2 
-D__linux__ -D__x86__ -o idlpython.o idlpython.cc

Neither will help you in this failure. It looks like your include path 
for the directory containing your python installation is not correct. In 
my python installation, the include files are under 
/usr/include/python2.2, which is reflected in the first "-I" command 
line argument to the compiler. In your case, it is pointing at 
"/include" and the system would require that /include/python/Python.h 
exist. I'll guess that the path must be different on your machine.

autoconf may have gotten it wrong, or ??
