Somehow, Running sudo make instead of make does the trick! Maybe Documentations requires a bit of update?

Compile

Simply run:

`make`
`make install (as super user)`

No, documentation is ok.
Your environment is broken because you are not able to access some of your include files as "normal user".

Oh Okay, Got it.
