yes it would. how would you install different versions of the same libraries (with their headers) if it wasn't in different paths? and what about cross compilers? the possibillity of having libs and headers in different places is a very important feature, not an anoying bug. > Why should every application go on a scavenger hunt to find > all the header files it needs? see above. anyway, thats the way it was since many many years for good reasons. it's the standard way of finding compiler and linker flags for libraries and you like obeying standards, don't you?
