mex unable to find an include file

I'm trying to use mex to compile a file, but it does not seem to be able to find an include file. I am using the test file yprime.c found in matlabapplicationfolder/extern/examples/ folder. The code compiles fine when I type
mex yprime.c
However, I now change the first few lines of the code to include a mpfr include file:
#include <math.h>
#include <mpfr.h>
#include "mex.h"
and I try:
mex 'yprime.c' '-I/usr/local/include/ -L/usr/local/lib/ -lmpfr'
It gives me the error
Error using mex
/Users/username/prog/yprime.c:17:10: fatal error: 'mpfr.h' file not found
#include <mpfr.h>
^
1 error generated.
I indeed have:
/usr/local/include/mpfr.h
/usr/local/lib/libmpfr.4.dylib
/usr/local/lib/libmpfr.a
/usr/local/lib/libmpfr.dylib
/usr/local/lib/libmpfr.la
The permissions on all of these are set to 755. I am running OSX 10.10.4. mex -setup returns:
MEX configured to use 'Xcode with Clang' for C language compilation.

Perhaps try
mex yprime.c -I/usr/local/include/ -L/usr/local/lib/ -lmpfr

Perhaps try
mex yprime.c -I/usr/local/include/ -L/usr/local/lib/ -lmpfr
As a function call this would be
mex('yprime.c', '-I/usr/local/include/', '-L/usr/local/lib/', '-lmpfr')
