You are probably missing the python header files - you didn't say what
OS you are using but from the path names its some form of Unix I
think.  Under Debian Linux you can use apt-get to install the build
dependencies of the Biopython package, and then install the latest
Biopython from source (specifically I think you are missing the
equivalent of the Debian python-dev package).
