dbus-1.0/dbus/dbus.h:29:10: fatal error: 'dbus/dbus-arch-deps.h' file not found

Question

I am using dbus in my programme, but when i include #include <dbus-1.0/dbus/dbus.h> I am getting error : dbus-1.0/dbus/dbus.h:29:10: fatal error: 'dbus/dbus-arch-deps.h' file not found

In the folder dbus there is no dbus-arch-deps.h file.

I can see this file in a folder lib64/dbus-1.0/include/dbus/dbus-arch-deps.h

Can any one please help me to compile this? Or any suggestion, as I am stuck badly here.

You can try adding

lib64/dbus-1.0/include/dbus    

to your cpath variable. like so:

export CPATH=/lib64/dbus-1.0/include/dbus:$CPATH    

( this is using the absolute path, otherwise change the beginning of the path ) check it afterwards with echo $CPATH

then try to compile ( for example using gcc or make )
