Subject: python3.2 can't find pyconfig.h file, dies
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=utf-8; format=flowed
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit

I'm running Cygwin64 on a Windows 8.1 laptop. Whenever I attempt to run 
either the 'python3' or the 'python3.2' command in a cygwin terminal 
window, I get the error message you see at the end of this email. The 
important part is the last line, to wit:

     IOError: invalid Python installation: unable to open
     /cygdrive/c/cygwin64/include/python3.2m/pyconfig.h (No such file or
     directory)

Note that there is no pyconfig.h in /cygdrive/c/cygwin64/include/, 
because there's no /cygdrive/c/cygwin64/include/ directory:

     $ ls /cygdrive/c/cygwin/include
     /cygdrive/c/cygwin64/bin/ls: cannot access
     /cygdrive/c/cygwin/include: No such file or directory

But there IS* a /cygdrive/c/cygwin64/usr/include directory, and it 
contains the file pyconfig.h in its tree.

     $ ls /cygdrive/cygwin64/usr/include/python3.2m/pyconfig.h
     /cygdrive/c/cygwin64/usr/include/python3.2m/pyconfig.h

So where is the default search path for the pyconfig.h file set? Are we 
talking about the ${prefix} and ${exec_prefix} variables the man page 
refers to?

Just in case someone asks, here's my Cygwin path:

     echo $PATH

/cygdrive/c/cygwin64/bin:/cygdrive/c/cygwin64/usr/local/bin:/cygdrive/c/usr/bin:/cygdrive/c/Cygwin64/home/Edgar/bin:/cygdrive/c/Program 
Files (x86)/ISC BIND 9/bin:/cygdrive/c/Windows:/cygdrive/c/Windows/system32

Thanks in advance for your help.
