It's in my Ubuntu platform. It includes a very comprehensive collection of header files and folders of header files. So why does it appear sometimes and not others?

Forgive me for persisting but I'm trying to understand this aspect rather than just accepting it as 'that's just the way it is'. thanx /carl
