I have a glimps what's happening. However I didn't got a clue why (ok, maybe I 
am on the wrong track on library creation)

following scenario:

testcompile.cpp:
#include "testinc.h"

#include <string>
#include <iostream>

int main()
{
  std::string hallo("String Test");

  std::cout<<hallo<<std::endl;
}

testinc.h:
#ifndef testinc_h
#define testinc_h

#include <list>

#endif

if both files are in the same directory, everything is ok. When I copy the 
testinc.h file to /usr/include and change the #include "testinc.h" to 
#include <testinc.h> in testcompile.cpp, I will get the following errors:

In file included from /usr/include/g++/iosfwd:46,
                 from /usr/include/g++/bits/stl_algobase.h:70,
                 from /usr/include/g++/list:67,
                 from /usr/include/testinc.hpp:4,
                 from compilerTest.cpp:1:

                 from /usr/include/testinc.hpp:4,
                 from compilerTest.cpp:1:

What is wrong with this? Couldn't I create library header files like that?
