Error occurred while installing sphinxbase

Run ./configure and I got this:

configure: error:
Could not link test program to Python. Maybe the main Python library has been
installed in some non-standard library path. If so, pass it to configure,
via the LDFLAGS environment variable.
Example: ./configure LDFLAGS="-L/usr/non-standard-path/python/lib"

ERROR!
You probably have to install the development version of the Python package
for your distribution. The exact name of this package varies among them.

See config.log' for more details

I use MacAir with OS X 10.11.6. I have Python 2.7.11 and 3.5.2, and the default version is 2.7.11.

What may made this error happened and how could I fix it? Thanks.

Your Python installation is broken. You can find additional details inside config.log file created by configure.

You need to share config.log file to get further help.

Thanks for your help. Can this config.log file attached bellow provide some clues?

This line in your log

clang: error: no such file or directory: 'Python.framework/Versions/2.7/Python'

Suggests you have something like this brew bug:

http://stackoverflow.com/a/8276426/432021

The linking flags must be

 -u _PyMac_Error /System/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.7/Python

and not like in your case

  -u _PyMac_Error Python.framework/Versions/2.7/Python

You can edit brew config yourself or try to upgrade python.
