Never used it but no matter what the linux, a file existing, doesn't mean
gcc will find it. It only looks in specific directories, you may have to
edit the Makefile and find a line that starts with

INCLUDES = 

and add

-I /dir/where/these/files/are

to make sure gcc searches in the appropriate place. Unfortunately things
vary from program to program, so maybe you're looking for a line with "INC
= " or "INCDIR = " or if there isn't one like that then you could add it to
"CCFLAGS" if it's there.

And to complicate matters a bit more, this is what to if the files that are
missing are header files (something.h). If they are libraries then you need
to add

-L /dir/where/these/files/are

to a line that starts with "LIBS = " or LIBDIRS or LDFLAGS. I can't be more
specific without knowing what files and possibly seeing the Makefile,

Fergal
