I am having trouble with compiling one of the open source libraries (libopekele OpenID lib).
The problem is I don't have sudo access on the system where I need to compile this.
Ran the configure. It complained of missing htmltidy lib.
Installed the htmltidy at a non-standard path /home/geekgod (as I dont have access to the /usr and /usr/local).
Now the problem is how do I make the configure script of libopekele to pick the the headers from /home/geekgod/include.
Poking into the configure.ac script of libopkele, it is using AC_CHECK_HEADERS to search for tidy.h or tidy/tidy.h.
I am pretty sure it is looking for these at standard location (/usr/include).
How do I add /home/geekgod to the standard include dir?

The angle brackets (<>) cause the preprocessor to search for the header file in the standard place for header files on your system, usually the /usr/include directory.
The primary purpose of a header file is to propagate declarations to code files. Header files allow us to put declarations in one location and then import them wherever we need them. This can save a lot of typing in multi-file programs.
try this:
./configure CPPFLAGS=-I/home/geekgod/include --prefix=... --etc
