Jump to PostIf you're doing this (putting your own header files in /usr/include) just to avoid having to specify -I parameters on the compiler command line, then you need to reconsider your approach.
Polluting /usr/include with a bunch of project specific header files will surely come unstuck in a big way …

Uh, yeah. Just use the cp or mv command. With root (administrator) privileges, of course.

Nothing. It's already there because you just saved it there.
