Speaking totally out of my rear end here, but it looks like A) its  
installed from an rpm (judging by the directories its installed to)  
and B) you need to install the -devel version of the rpm. Of course I  
could be completely wrong since its been a long time since A) I've  
used Linux and B) I almost always use Debian.
