This failure is happening when building a sub-package of broccoli, which is a sub-package of bro.

If you do need to build the broccoli sub-package with python bindings, then you need to figure out whether python2.4-dev is actually providing Python.h for you or whether you might need to use a different Python version (maybe self-built/installed).

If you don't need the broccoli sub-package, you could try just disabling it (e.g. `./configure --disable-broccoli`).  There's also another sub-package, broctl, that depends on Python that you can disable if you're not going to use it (use the "--disable-broctl" option to ./configure).

That said, I don't think any Ubuntu 9.x versions are even supported by Canonical anymore, so if you run into more problems and you have the option of just upgrading the OS, that might be a good thing.
