as you know if you have the header file in "/usr/include" then all you
do is #include <headerfilename.h>
and then compile your program without any switch. the alternative is to
have the header file somewhere else.
then you just simply say #include "headerfilename.h" and as you compile
your program you must include the path where header file exists:
"gcc filename.c -I/usr/local/include/foo"
speaking for myself,
Mehran,
