I am trying to setup pycairo in virtualenv but setup fails when searching for Python.h header file

(draw)[root@collabdraw pycairo]# python ./waf configure --prefix=/usr
  ./options()

The configuration failed
(complete log in /root/pycairo/build_directory/config.log)

Any ideas why python ./waf configure --prefix=/usr cannot find Python.h? This file is located in virtaulenv directory

(draw)[root@collabdraw pycairo]# ls ~/virtualenvt/draw/include/python3.2m/Python.
Python.h  ##### This is the file
