Hi Vicente,

Where is the file included from?

If it is included from a public header, then files from lib should not
be included at all. They should be made public too.

If it is included from a test, then the library must not assume that
it lies inside a folder named "lib", which is the case with
"lib/libXXX".
Instead, the include directories of the test should be adapted to
include either the library's source directory or its root directory.
The relevant header file then should be included relative to that path.

cheers,
Daniel
