Normally, /usr/local/include, by default, is in the include-path of any
ANSI compliant C-compiler. So, not finding files in /usr/local/include
could indicate a C-toolchain installation problem 

(I don't have access to an OSF1-system, but OSF1 is known to be among
the most problematic systems configuration-wise.)

If using gcc, your toolchain definitely is broken.

If having gcc and another cc installed in parallel, you have to help
configure to pick up the desired compiler.
eg. CC=/usr/bin/cc ./configure ...
rsp. CC=<whatever>/bin/gcc ./configure 

Forcing any c-compiler to using /usr/local/include should be possible
this way:
CPPFLAGS=-I/usr/local/include ./configure
