You are missing the python3-dev package. It is not uncommon to have python installed but not the header files required for compiling.

I think there may be larger problems with your python install if it is trying to compile a C++ project with a C compiler. I would recommend getting a different python build and trying again. We have seen this before that someone was releasing busted python distributions that don't compile C++.

This isn't really a JPype problem so much as bad Python installs.
