make OpenEXR for matlab2017b on ubuntu

Question

it should be simple, but I don't understand why I'm getting this error when I try to compile using

g++ -c -DTARGET_API_VERSION=700  -DMX_COMPAT_64  -DUSE_MEX_CMD   -D_GNU_SOURCE -DMATLAB_MEX_FILE  -I/usr/local/include/OpenEXR  -I"/usr/local/MATLAB/R2017a/extern/include" -I"/usr/local/MATLAB/R2017a/simulink/include" -fexceptions -fPIC -fno-omit-frame-pointer -pthread -std=c++11 -O -DNDEBUG /home/jaky/MTU/Bos/lf_gen/exrinfo.cpp -o /tmp/mex_157769755466358_1351/exrinfo.o

I'm including -I/usr/local/include/OpenEXR and I even can copy the header from the same location(I mean the files are there) yet, the result of the command is just

exrinfo.cpp:38:23: fatal error: ImfHeader.h: No such file or directory
#include <ImfHeader.h>
                   ^
compilation terminated.

I have to mention that just copying ImfHeader.h to the compile place will result in another library request and...

It seems like the OpenEXR lib is updated, or at least part of it is updated and it is using gcc 5.x, which is not compatible with the exrinfo.cpp that I was using. I found and updated version of exrinfo.cpp, that fixed the problem.
