when i try running a .cc file of gr-bluetooth , i get certain errors  
that  
some .h files are not there and it results in fatal error…

snigdha@ubuntu:~/gr-bluetooth/src/lib$ gcc bluetooth.cc  
bluetooth.cc:149:20: fatal error: Python.h: No such file or directory  
compilation terminated.

when i run bluetooth.py, swig import error occurs and an import error  
occurs…

snigdha@ubuntu:~/gr-bluetooth/src/lib$ python bluetooth  
python: can’t open file ‘bluetooth’: [Errno 2] No such file or directory  
snigdha@ubuntu:~/gr-bluetooth/src/lib$ python bluetooth.py  
Traceback (most recent call last):  
File “bluetooth.py”, line 24, in   
\_bluetooth = swig\_import\_helper()  
File “bluetooth.py”, line 16, in swig\_import\_helper  
import \_bluetooth  
ImportError: No module named \_bluetooth

How do i resolve this error…

Sorry this took me so long to get to. The best place to get help on  
gr-bluetooth is the Ubertooth mailing list or irc channel. (It is only  
vaguely relevant to Ubertooth, but it is mostly the same developers and  
a related codebase.)

I think the main cause of the error above is that you tried to use gcc  
directly instead of using make. See the README file.
