Hi,

Can anyone tell me how to set the link lib for gcc?
When I issue the command:
# cc mypg.c -lX11
I got an error message like: ld: cannot open -lX11:No such file or directory.
I checked the directory and the libX11.a just there in /usr/X11/lib. What
should I do? I already include the path /usr/X11/lib in my env, and read
the man for gcc, but didn't get it.
Thanks!

: should I do? I already include the path /usr/X11/lib in my env, and read
did you put the path into the file /etc/ld.so.conf and ran ldconfig ?

 Check very carefully what filename it is asking for, and then check what you
have.  If they are different, then use a symbolic link between the one you
want, and the one you got.

The wise man determines what the masses
are doing, and then does the opposite, and
the successfull man asks the wise man.
