In Debian-based distributions (including Ubuntu), use dpkg -S uXlib.h to find out, from which package a file named uXlib.h comes from (if that package is installed, it will find it).
If that package is not installed, you might want to install apt-file as described here: http://www.debianhelp.co.uk/findfile.htm.
I believe that your file should be in some dev package as headers go there, may be something like libmotif-dev. UPDATE: no, didn't find it in libmotif-dev.

I managed to sovle this issue by copying all the header files from
ftp://ftp.hq.eso.org/pub/linux/scisoft4/midas/02FEB/gui/GraphLib/libsrc/uimxR5/include
to /usr/include.
I don't know if its the right way.

2Usually, when you manually install a program (not from a package via dpkg, apt, aptitude or synaptic, but manually by downloading a file) it goes to
/usr/localfilesystem, reserved for local systems administrator manually installed program. So typically, you would put your header file to/usr/local/includeas in wiki.debian.org/FMOD#Headers, also see askubuntu.com/questions/17545/…. Though, it varies from distro to distro, some distros put even locally installed headers to /usr/include. Jul 26, 2013 at 9:02
