How to get /usr/local/include added to include path

[mathk]

Hi,

Gcc is not including the path /usr/local/include.
So is there a proper way of doing it or should I just use the -I or env variable?

-I is the proper way The gnu toolchain, from the base system, only looks in directories from the base system.

Ok right thanks for your answer.
Maybe you could help me:

I have a library that install his header in /usr/local/include.
No I am writing a configure.ac that should check if the llibrary is there if not it should failed to configure.

AC_CHECK_HEADER(lightning.h, [], [AC_MSG_ERROR([You should install lightning firt])])

So what is the proper way of writing this condition?

Thanks
