If they are using a recent version of autoconf to make their configure
script, the --help output should contain:
Some influential environment variables:
CC C compiler command
CFLAGS C compiler flags
LDFLAGS linker flags, e.g. -L<lib dir> if you have libraries in a
nonstandard directory <lib dir>
CPPFLAGS C/C++ preprocessor flags, e.g. -I<include dir> if you have
headers in a nonstandard directory <include dir>
CPP C preprocessor
Use these variables to override the choices made by `configure' or to
help it to find libraries and programs with nonstandard names/locations.

Set the CPPFLAGS and LDFLAGS environment variables to
-I/export/tbowers/include and -L/export/tbowers/lib respectively.
Cordially,
