Environment variables....

[Louis Marascio]

Well, the test program that I ran was indeed flawed.  I have now confirmed that
setting CPLUS_INCLUDE_PATH does work.  I also successfully compiled the test
program with two directories.  However, I am still in the dark as to why my
project is failing.  Just to make sure I'm going to go check for mispellings
again for the 100th time.  Thanks again for all the support.

You might check for whitespace between dirs specified in your
environment variable....

As you will see from my previous posting, that is exactly what it was.  Thanks
again.

Be careful that you don't do this in your Makefile:

CPLUS_INCLUDE_PATH = <blah>

foo.o: foo.cc
       export CPLUS_INCLUDE_PATH
       g++ -c foo.cc

This will not export CPLUS_INCLUDE_PATH for g++, as make runs each
line in a separate shell.

Instead, you should say:

  export CPLUS_INCLUDE_PATH; g++ -c foo.cc

or

  env CPLUS_INCLUDE_PATH=${CPLUS_INCLUDE_PATH} g++ -c foo.cc

or some equivalent construct.
