Most of us filter our mail, and would prefer such questions to be dumped into the same folder as the other articles that we recieve from freebsd.org. Second, all the base include files you should need are included in the base distribution. If there's a header file that seems to be missing, it's probably for a 3rd party library that you'll need to install either from the ports/packages collection, or install by hand. If you're trying to build an X application, you'll need to make sure that you have the proper X distribution files installed. This can be achieved from /stand/sysinstall.
