Usually GNU/Linux packagers pack binaries and development stuff in separate packages. For example, with RedHat-style packages, there's a PACKAGENAME package with dynamically linkable libraries, and a separate PACKAGENAME-devel with statically linkable libraries and headers. For example: bash-3.00$ rpm -qa | grep readline readline-devel-4.3-13 readline-4.3-13 You also need the -devel package to have header files. Note that with Ubuntu the naming conventions could differ slightly. p.
