[cairo] Pycairo: can't find python devel header files?

[Fabrice DELENTE]

Hello.

I have installed from scratch python 2.7 on my system with 'configure
--prefix=/usr --sysconfdir=/etc --localstatdir=/var; make; make
install'

Then I have tried to compile py2cairo-1.10.0 but I get an error:

# ./waf configure --prefix=/usr
  ./options()
Setting top to                           : /usr/local/testSpace/blueman/py2cairo-1.10.0 
Setting out to                           : /usr/local/testSpace/blueman/py2cairo-1.10.0/build_directory 
  ./configure()

The configuration failed
(complete log in /usr/local/testSpace/blueman/py2cairo-1.10.0/build_directory/config.log)

The config.log file shows:

Could not find the python development headers
------------

so there is a problem with linking libm.

How can I add libm to the list of libraries to link against? I can't
modify the waf script since it is encoded?

Thanks.
