When trying to install mod_wsgi using pip as follows:
pip install mod_wsgi
I get the following error:
4m.so -L/usr/local/lib -L/usr/local/lib/python3.4/config-3.4m
-lpython3.4m

I am using Python 3.4.3. I even tried to build mod_wsgi from source and pretty much get the same error.
From seeing this in the following in the stack trace perhaps its looking for python source or other source? I'm still fiddling around trying to figure out what it wants but any help will be appreciated.

The solution that worked for me was to build mod_wsgi from source after installing the python dev libraries.
So
./configure --with-python=/path/to/python/executable
make
make install
