Just as a general thing, almost all Linux distributions separate the runtime and development components of any package; if you need developer libraries, you need to install the -dev / -devel package corresponding to the runtime package.  (I have never been convinced this actually accomplishes anything other than causing lots of support questions; any space that might be saved by not installing a bunhc of tiny headers and a symlink or two is then lost by having several GB of Gnome libraries in a basic install.....)
