Python headers not found when compiling gimp2.7

Hello. I am trying to compile gimp 2.7 and when I run configure I get an error "python headers not found". I've read that in arch you get the headers together with the rest of the package so there is no need for a -dev package. I have installed python several times with pacman, but the problem persists.

Re: Python headers not found when compiling gimp2.7

Edit the PKGBUILD and insert this:

PYTHON=python2 PYTHON_VERSION=2.7

infront of the "./configure" part. So it looks like this:

PYTHON=python2 PYTHON_VERSION=2.7 ./configure --prefix=/usr --- snip ---

happy compiling
