"Cannot compile 'Python.h'. Perhaps you need to install python-dev|python-devel" while installing PyPy version of Numpy

I am trying to install the PyPy distribution of Numpy (Note that PyPy requires a different version of Numpy than that found in the repositories), but get the error:

Cannot compile 'Python.h'. Perhaps you need to install python-dev|python-devel

I do however have the latest python-dev installed.

Any suggestions?

Somebody mentioned portable PyPy which I maintain. The stable builds indeed don't have numpy precompiled but I also build unstable builds from time to time which include numpy. You can see them here: https://bitbucket.org/squeaky/portable-pypy-weekly/downloads.
