[Scribus] Scribus Source Install

[Brian]

My attempt to compile scribus 1.1.2  stalls on this

C -DPIC -o .libs/cmdutil.o
In file included from cmdutil.cpp:1:
cmdutil.h:4: Python.h: No such file or directory
make[5]: *** [cmdutil.lo] Error 1
make[5]: Leaving directory 
`/home/magpie/scribus-1.1.2/scribus/plugins/scriptplugin'
make[4]: *** [all-recursive] Error 1

Can anyone point me in the right direction ? Apt-get has quite a few 
Python modules available for download. It is showing Python 2.2-166 as 
being installed.
