I assume you are running some Linux distribution based on some names above.

Just install the required packages through your package manager. 
Remember that when you're trying to build something, you need the 
development files of those packages (most likely ending in -dev).

On Ubuntu you can run the following command which will pull in all build 
dependencies:
sudo apt-get build-dep python-gtk2
