I don't know much about Debian, but if you have gcc installed, you
probably have the standard libraries or headers (they are different
files).  In fact, if you didn't have the libraries, your system probably
wouldn't work!

Check to make sure that those files are in your /usr/include.  If they
are, then the make files are setup way, way wrong, you have an
environment problem, etc.  Try "gcc -I/usr/include".

If the includes aren't there, then you do have to find the right
packages!  Look for something like gcc-devel or something similar.
