This isn't really 'linux' specific.  It relates to the way distributions are 
packaged.  If you don't compile things locally, you don't need all the .h header 
files so they are split into separate package-devel packages.  You can get a 
bunch of them at once if you pick the development-related groups during an 
install or you can do a 'yum grouplist', then 'yum groupinstall ...' for the 
ones you  are likely to need.
