For Ubuntu and Debian, being that i386 and x86_64 (possibly others)
are multi-arch systems, you may need to set-up LIBRARY_PATH and CPATH.

In ~/.bashrc:

LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu
CPATH=/usr/include/i386-linux-gnu
export LIBRARY_PATH CPATH


I have said this at least a dozen times, this must be documented somewhere... :)
