For what it is worth, 'includes' usually means file that are included in 
a C source file.  They end with a '.h' extension.  For instance, Xlib.h 
is on my machine, located in /usr/X11R6/include/X11/Xlib.h.  So "locate 
.h | grep ^X" might have been more useful to you.... maybe not.

That said, preed is most likely correct -- once you install the devel 
package, it will likely 'just work'.  You won't have to tell it where to 
look for the includes, because the package will install them.
