c - can't compile with <sys/times.h> ubuntu

I have 64bit ubuntu installed, and I am trying to compile a code with times.h however I keep getting sys/times.h No such file or directory

What I have tried so far
1. installing libc6-dev-i386, g++-multili, and libc6 and libc6-dev (Even though it is already installed)
2. I swapped <sys/times.h> to </usr/include/sys/times.h> and now I am getting features.h No such file or directory error

Question:
It is weird how it accepts </usr/include/sys/times.h> instead of <sys/times.h>, and help?

EDIT: I can access times.h, if it matters

I would recommend running:

$ locate /sys/time.h | grep include

Using the output you can determine what to do next:

  • If there is a file named /usr/include/<x86_64 or i386>-linux-gnu/sys/time.h, then simply run: $ sudo ln -s /usr/include/<x86_64 or i386>-linux-gnu/sys /usr/include/sys. This will direct the compiler to the right file if it checks . This seems to be what you are doing manually.

  • If there is no relevant output, then try downloading build-essential. It may be that something else is missing. $ sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get install build-essential

Let me know if this helps!
