includes usually are libraries. Since a lot of code is used by more than one program people use libraries. That way you only have to write a function once, put it in a library and then any program that includes the library can use that function. Also if program a, b and c are using that function and there is a bug in it you only need to replace that library with a fixed one and all those programs will no longer have the bugs also since they use the new function from the library regards > Hi, > > I was trying to install a package and the first step > was to run ./configure.
