Hi, all

a newbie question ask for solution.

I want to compile some code. During link, i got the error message as:
/usr/bin/ld: /usr/lib/gcc-lib/i586-suse-linux/3.3.1/crtbeginS.o: No such file: No such file or directory

I can not find crtbeginS.o in that directory, but I find the same on the other version located at

/usr/lib/gcc/i586-suse-linux/2.95.3/crtbeginS.o
/usr/lib/gcc/i586-suse-linux/4.1.2/crtbeginS.o

is it possible to force gcc link to /usr/lib/gcc/i586-suse-linux/4.1.2/crtbeginS.o during linking?

how to do that?

I believe you just need to pass a switch to gcc, which will then be passed on to the linker for you. Try adding this:

-l/usr/lib/gcc/i586-suse-linux/4.1.2/

to your gcc commandline.

Are you compiling something other than straight C? If it's C++ then try linking using g++.

Actually, I want to compile a FORTRAN 90 code with Dislin, using pgf90, where I met such problem. So I tried another example by c, and it gave such error message. It doesnt work when I use -l/usr/lib/gcc/i586-suse-linux/4.1.2/.

BTW, I'm not the administrator of this machine, so I prefer the method for a general user.

What command line(s) do you use for compilation and linking?
