I use 'ln -s' to link the includes and libraries to
/usr/local/(include|lib). That way the libraries are found automagically
and all of the includes are in one spot. It does make things harder when
you run into problems such as above. I use the symbolic links so I can
continue to shuffle files in the sybase area with out messing up the
links.
