RPi install failure

[lilzz]

Due to my corrupted SD card I have to install RPi again

this time it gives an error.

sudo python setup.py install

the error says. python.h is missing.

what? I check /usr/bin/python exists the python library exists, why python.h missing?

sudo apt-get install python{,3}-dev libpython{,3}-dev

[lilzz]

sudo apt-get install python{,3}-dev libpython{,3}-dev

I type in the exact command
it says
Unable to locate package libpython-dev
Unbale to locate package libpython3-dev

python{,3}-dev means python-dev and python3-dev?

Try
sudo apt-get install python2.7-dev python3.4-dev libpython2.7-dev libpython3.4-dev

Or try installing with
sudo aptitude
(Aptitude has a good search engine to let you find the package you need)
