Agreed, and that's why (at least) gcc has C_INCLUDE_PATH and LIBRARY_PATH and 
those
should be set by user in the environment (maybe permanently) if he wants to use 
packages
installed in /usr/local or /opt or whatever, and this shouldn't be the deal of 
package manager
to automatically make various paths available to the compiler without user's 
approval
(because that can lead to conflicts if there are several versions of same 
library installed
in different locations), IIUC.
