Headers not found openfst

Question

I tried to install OpenFst to use it with SphinxTrain and recompile it with g2p enabled, and it seem to work but I got stuck with the following error :

checking fst/fstlib.h usability...
no checking fst/fstlib.h presence...
no checking for fst/fstlib.h...
no configure: error: fst/fstlib.h header not found

But the OpenFst binaries are well installed in /usr/local/lib/fst and the headers too in /usr/local/include/fst..

Can anyone give me a clue about the issue ?

@NikolayShmyrev Perhaps, for completeness, you could copy the answer over to here? — blambert, Jul 23 '16 at 06:11

Answer copied from https://sourceforge.net/p/cmusphinx/discussion/help/thread/c58f60cb/:

It looks in /usr/include by default, not in /usr/local/include. You probably need to set CFLAGS and LDFLAGS before configure:

CFLAGS=-I/usr/local/include LDFLAGS=-L/usr/local/lib ./configure ....

Overall I do not recommend you to use this feature, it never worked well. Use phonetisaurus to extend the dictionary or g2p-seq2seq.
