that is because the environment of root.
you compiled and installed under /usr/local, i think.

but the environment of root doesnt includes /usr/local/include as one of
the include search path (which, by the way, i dont know where it is)
so this will help me too. have always wanted to know.

su doesnt change the environment unless you explicity specify it with
options.

do
su -
that is "du <dash>"
and it will load roots environment.
you will get the same results, no compilation.
