I'm guessing this is needing the python-dev (or other -dev) Ubuntu 
package, which provide the needed header files for packages to build 
against.  Not needed for C-based *.deb package install, but building 
locally, it's a common pattern to need a *-dev to be able to build.

Make sure to get python-2.4, python-2.5, python, and *-dev all straight 
(when they exist) before installing one that doesn't match.  Not much of 
an issue on Ubuntu though.
