The error message has nothing to do with the header, as it is an error 
in the link phase, where the symbols of the libpthread can not be 
resolved.

Yes, you need to include this line in your Makefile and for me this 
leads to the program linking correctly.
Are you sure you included it in server/src/Makefile and not somewhere 
else? Can you show us your Makefile and the Output of

make V=1

to see the compiler and linker commands invoked?
