 You can do it in few ways, generally you should modify the search path
for include(library) files. I do not know what UNIX/compiler you use
but I suppose you can do one of the following:
1. Add appropriate switch to your command line when invoking the cc,
for example (Solaris): cc <something> -IPathToMyIncludeFiles
2. Change in your makefile the CCFLAG variable, or change the default
makefile rules (for Solaris OS :</usr/share/lib/make/make.rules>)
3. Various unixlike OSes have compilers looking for an appropriate
system variable for example: INCLUDE (Watcom). Add to this variable the
directory containig your include files in your profile.

I hope presented suggestions help you to deal with the problem.
