Header files goes missing after installation

I am trying to create C based application using freeradius-3.0.12,
but its not possible to build.

To use some of the definitions (viz. fr_pair_make) , I need to include
libradius.h
but then it gives the error saying freeradius/autoconf.h is missing.

Similarly I need to use radclient structure in my application, but its
defined in clients.h which is not there in the installed package headers.

As a quick fix to the problem, I have manually copied these missing static
header files in the installed package include path.

But, is there any way by which I can get these missing header files through
installation?
Or any better solution?


Thanks
