It looks like you are compiling a program using the gcc compiler (I am guessing since you have not shown any errors or message which show the problem). In gcc you specify a path to look for headers files using the -I switch. This way, whatever include statements have <filename.h>, those files will be searched under system default paths and the paths you specify using -I. Furthermore, library paths are specified by -L and libraries are specified by -l (small L). NB: Order in which these are specified matters.
