Problems compiling with libpq

From

I know I am being silly, but it is late and I cannot recall what the 
solution was...

When I write a C program with
#include <libpq-fe.h>
or
#include "libpq-fe.h"

and compile with -llibpq turned on, I get the message that the system 
cannot find libpq-fe.h
I know it is me being really silly, for the headerfile is where I expected 
it: /usr/local/pgsql/include/libpg-fe.h
The solution should be to tell gcc where to find this file... even better 
would be: to include the dir to the include-files path... but there it 
stops for me, anyone who can help me out?

Gcc 2.95.3, Slackware 8.1, PostgeSQL 7.3 ordinary users as well as root 
should be able to compile it. (some little voice in my head told me that it 
might differ for root)

tia,
Michiel

Never mind,

it's the -I parameter, and it's not -lpgsql but -lpq :)
However, I wonder if it is possible not to have to set the flag... so as to 
add the dir to the default headerfile-searchpath...
