i downloaded some c libraries (cncl: vector and matrix arithmetic library)
and i have compiled them to give me *.a binaries...

i want to have all the include folder and lib folder in my global library search path to avoid linking manually each time. (not only me but all users on the system) how do i do this?

i'm using redhat 9 and gnu compiler suite

top of the the cncl directory is located @
/usr/local/cncl

header files are @
/usr/local/cncl/include

binaries files are @
/usr/local/cncl/lib

etc, etc... you get the picture....

please help...

thanks~~

Well, I don't know whether this is correct, but the path of the libraries can be added to the file /etc/ld.so.conf to make them available to every program. Also, after you have added their paths, you have to run 'ldconfig' as root to update your compiler configs.
