Django version is 1.2.5 and python is 2.6. I have tried(easy_install, pip, download and install) all the ways, But remains same error.

Please anyone advise on this.

The problem is that GCC can't find Python header files.

If you are using Python installed by some kind of a package system try installing Python's developer package. It should be named python-dev or something along the lines.
