With Linux-based systems, /usr/lib and /usr/include are visible to the
compiler & linker by default, and the normal install location for
extra packages (that's appropriate because there is a package manager
to keep things orderly).  On other systems, libraries may be installed
in a place not known about by the compiler & linker.
