Don't set CPLUS_INCLUDE_PATH?
I am now doing that. :)
Seriously, I'm not sure why you set that variable. I never heard of it before, and usually the safest way to get includes added to the compiler flags is via CXXFLAGS and CFLAGS.
Long ago in a galaxy far away, when I first joined the project, I noticed the variable being set in the /etc/profile.d/qt.sh script that came with the Slackware qt3 package. I presumed the variable was important.
CPLUS_INCLUDE_PATH is an integral part of gcc, specifically g++. See the man page.
Of course, that script is for run time and not for compiling.
Then CPLUS_INCLUDE_PATH doesn't mean anything.
