Although you can compile some packages from source and have them work,  
you will often be missing patches that provide full functionality.  I - 
highly- recommend using a package manager such as Fink or MacPorts --  
where such patches are already incorporated.

That said, if you look at the 'config.log' file & search for  
"Python.h" you should find whatever the issue/s is/are.  Without  
seeing that log, there's very little any of us can do to be of  
assistance -- I've checked out the configure M4 script (config/ 
gr_python.m4) and it should work correctly for your setup. - MLD
