Diego, oftentimes there is a "devel" package that goes along with the
libraries. Those are the definitions needed when compiling against the
library. You can install the library to use software that uses the library,
as you have done. Were you to install a binary grip, you would be able to
run it because you have the library. In order to compile against it, though,
you might need to find the libghttp-devel package.
