A number of developers had problems on Friday at the Drizzle Developer Day with compiling bzr . The distro in question I was helping with was CentOS 5 32-bit. I had no issues on CentOS 5 64bit.
Today while creating the first deployed Drizzle AWS AMI I discovered the same problem using Ubuntu 8.10 Intrepid 32 bit.
The solution was actually rather trivial. Installing the python-dev package solved the problem.
apt-get install python-dev
