More generally, any time there is an error related to a missing file
or directory, begin by identifying the source of that file or
directory. In this case a header file is missing. Missing headers
usually indicate a missing dependency, a library or some such. Missing
can mean two things: either the thing-that-is-missing is completely
absent or the thing-that-wants-it is looking in the wrong place.

So once the source is identified, an appropriate interpretation of
"missing" can be ... traced and stuff can ... do ... yawn ... find the
... environment ... mmm ...
