On an alpha-dec-osf4.0, CPATH works.

I define CPATH as (in bash)
CPATH=${HOME}/local/include:${HOME}/repl/lib

A test program
#include "hbook.h"
#include <curses.h>

main()
{}

I have hbook.h in ${HOME}/repl/lib, and curses.h in ${HOME}/local/include.
egcs was installed in ${HOME}/local/packages/egcs-1.0
