Hi i am new to linux and i am using Fedora core 2.

I am currently using an API called jrtplib. However when i install it , it install all the library files to a /usr/local/lib . Unfortunatley the the g++ compiler i am using ( not sure which version ) doesnt check that directory when searching for errors ,, so of course a whole lot of "undefined reference errors " arise at compile time .

What i want to know if what modification needs to be made to allow the compiler or whatever is responsible for the aspect , so as to force it too check the usr/local/lib directory rather than onlyt the usr/lib directory.

thanx in Advance, Quest

Try this option for g++:
-L/usr/local/lib
