fatal error: ppl_c.h: No such file or directory

Mine is:
mahmood@pc:/etc$  cat ld.so.conf.d/*.conf
/usr/lib/mesa
# Multiarch support
/lib/i686-linux-gnu
/usr/lib/i686-linux-gnu
/usr/lib/alsa-lib
# libc default configuration
/usr/local/lib
 
The strange thing for me was that with the libc default configuration, and the 
presence of libmpc.so.2 in /usr/local/lib, it can not find the file. However,  
by running "export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/local/lib" that problem is now solved.
Thanks,

Let's add some expected logic (common sense) into this issue :

- when someone wants to add new shared libraries, new tools etc
  from sources into the "Linux system", one configures their
  sources using '--prefix=/usr'

- if one doesn't want the "original system" being mixed with one's
  own local additions, then the default '--prefix=/usr/local' is
  one good choice. But one must take the local additions in
  '/usr/local/bin' and '/usr/local/lib' in use via modifying PATH
  and something else for the shared libraries, like adding a new
  '.conf' text file into the '/etc/ld.so.conf.d'. For instance my
  system has :

    [root@localhost etc]# cat ld.so.conf.d/*.conf
    /usr/lib/mysql
    /opt/meego/lib
    /usr/lib/qt-3.3/lib
    /usr/lib/xulrunner-1.9.2

Maybe the previous isn't the "official truth", but hopefully it
is at least a little near it...
