Probably because you don't have python installed, or, if you're using a
binary package distro, some kind of python-dev package.

Unfortunately, occasionally the auto* tools will require that you have
certain dependencies installed, even if you don't intend to use them.
That's actually a crappy explanation, but I'm too tired to come up with
anything better.

IIRC that's just a warning and is harmless (assuming you're getting the
message I think you're getting; pasting the output generally helps avoid
confusion).
