Hello John:

   thank you for kind reply.
   I use command:

make linux

to compile Tachyon and I get the following file at compile/linux folder:

libtachyon libtachyon.a tachyon

It seems that there is no "include" directory, so I am wondering where
should I specify the include section?

thank you very much
best
Albert
