First of all, there is a workaround for so that you do not need to
compile anything and will not need the header files.

Probably, you are using PyX 0.4.1. If not, please use this version,
for the PyX in cvs is not fully functioning at the moment.

Before installing PyX, please have a look into "setup.py" in the pyx
directory and change the ext_modules entry to

  ext_modules = [Extension("pyx.t1strip._t1strip",
      sources=["pyx/t1strip/t1strip.c", "pyx/t1strip/writet1.c"])]

This will compile only the t1strip module, and not the kpathsea
module.


If you really do not want to use the fallback solution and want to
compile the kpathsea-module, you should get the header-files _and_
libraries for your TeXLive system. You can get the sources for TeXLive
from (19 MB)

  ftp://ftp.dante.de/tex-archive/systems/texlive/Source/source.tar.bz2

after unpacking, you will find some header files in the directory

  <where you unpacked>/source/TeX/texk/kpathsea

maybe, these will do. If the installation process cannot find the
kpathsea library, you will have to build the whole TeXLive system with
the appropriate paths. See the documentation in the source-tarball of
TeXLive for this.


Best greetings
