You can have installed i2c in two different ways: either you patched it into your kernel sources, or you installed it externally. In the former case, you must set I2C_HEADERS to point to your kernel source tree. In the latter case, you must set I2C_HEADERS to point to /usr/local/include (the default) or wherever you installed the headers that come from the i2c package. This should not be /usr/include, as this directory contains the kernel headers the glibc was compiled with and they should never be changed when installing a new kernel. So in both cases, I2C_HEADERS points to a non-standard location and needs to be set, or gcc won't find the header files. -- Jean Delvare
