I'm not on a machine where I can do this right now, but perhaps I can still help. If your distribution uses yum (e.g. RHEL):

yum provides if_dl.h

Or if you use apt (e.g. Ubuntu/Debian):

sudo apt-get install apt-file
sudo apt-file update
apt-file search if_dl.h

If apt-file is already installed, the first step won't be necessary, and I can't remember for sure if the second is. Also, I believe both package managers work both with filename and with full path.

Hopefully this will work for you or someone else reading this, and you'll get your answer!
