在编译文件时缺少头文件时应该怎么解决。

这位哥们在安赚Tokyo Cabinet时遇到头文件缺少的问题，讲得很清楚。链接如下：http://www.rosoo.net/a/201203/15797.html

在这里简单介绍一下：命令apt-file可以找到所缺少的头文件所在的包，方便我们直接安装使用。

1、先安装apt-file命令所依赖的包。

You need to run 'apt-file update' as root to update the cache.

2、用apt-file update 命令来更新cache。这里需要很长的一段时间，需要耐心等待。

3、现在我们可以尝试，apt-file的强大啦。

命令格式如下：apt-file find|search header.h(header.h为编译过程中提示缺少的头文件)；

然后系统会自动显示缺少的包，以及该头文件应该放置的目录。建议安装系统默认的头文件包含路径所对应的包。

接下来就用apt-get install 命令安装该软件包。

4、现在头文件已经安装好啦，继续你的linux路程吧。
