python3.2 can't find pyconfig.h file, dies

I'm running Cygwin64 on a Windows 8.1 laptop. Whenever I attempt to run
either the 'python3' or the 'python3.2' command in a cygwin terminal
window, I get the error message you see at the end of this email. The
important part is the last line, to wit:
IOError: invalid Python installation: unable to open
/cygdrive/c/cygwin64/include/python3.2m/pyconfig.h (No such file or
directory)
Note that there is no pyconfig.h in /cygdrive/c/cygwin64/include/,
because there's no /cygdrive/c/cygwin64/include/ directory:
$ ls /cygdrive/c/cygwin/include
/cygdrive/c/cygwin64/bin/ls: cannot access
/cygdrive/c/cygwin/include: No such file or directory
But there IS* a /cygdrive/c/cygwin64/usr/include directory, and it
contains the file pyconfig.h in its tree.
$ ls /cygdrive/cygwin64/usr/include/python3.2m/pyconfig.h
/cygdrive/c/cygwin64/usr/include/python3.2m/pyconfig.h
So where is the default search path for the pyconfig.h file set? Are we
talking about the ${prefix} and ${exec_prefix} variables the man page
refers to?
Just in case someone asks, here's my Cygwin path:
echo $PATH
/cygdrive/c/cygwin64/bin:/cygdrive/c/cygwin64/usr/local/bin:/cygdrive/c/usr/bin:/cygdrive/c/Cygwin64/home/Edgar/bin:/cygdrive/c/Program
Files (x86)/ISC BIND 9/bin:/cygdrive/c/Windows:/cygdrive/c/Windows/system32
Thanks in advance for your help.
