You can ignore this error, it's only the new midi2ly that doesn't get
built.

What a strange python setup.  It is common practice to have

    /usr/include/python
    /usr/include/python2

symlinks to your active python devel installation.  Is this python
devel package native mandrake?

Hmm, should we really go looking in /usr/include/python2.[0123]
directories for a Python.h header?
