Well, maybe it should also look into /lib when it finds the .h in /usr/include. > Any ideas on how to work around this in a simple way?

Just configure it manually: For the package conf-expat set the variables: GODI_EXPAT_INCDIR = /usr/include GODI_EXPAT_LIBDIR = /lib (type 'c' to set this after going to the conf-expat package).
