Either use ``#include <include/hello.h>'' with ``gcc -I . hello.c'', or
``#include <hello.h>'' with ``gcc -I include hello.c'', or (what you
probably want) use double quotes (") instead of angle brackets around
the file name.
In your example, the compiler is looking for ./include/include/hello.h,
and it's also looking for include/hello.h in the system directories.
