[Matplotlib-users] Problems installing matplotlib - compiling error

[Orgun <am...@gm...>]

Hi guy,

as I'm new to matplotlib I tried to install it following the instructions on 
http://matplotlib.org/faq/installing_faq.html#source-install-from-git
<http://matplotlib.org/faq/installing_faq.html#source-install-from-git>  .
After downloading and changing the directory properly I get the following
error: 


building 'matplotlib.ft2font' extension
gcc -pthread -DNDEBUG -g -fwrapv -O2 -Wall -D_FORTIFY_SOURCE=2 -g
-fstack-protector --param=ssp-buffer-size=4 -Wformat -Werror=format-security

./CXX/WrapPython.h:58:20: fatal error: Python.h: No such file or directory
compilation terminated.
error: command 'gcc' failed with exit status 1

I'm using Linux Mint Nadia 14.2 Kernel 3.5.0.17, Python 3.2.3 (Oct 19 2012)
and gcc 4.7.2. Numpy, Simpy & Scipy are up to date.

What did I do wrong?
I have to use python3 because every other task was written specifficly with
python3.

cheers,
Christian
