GCC and Libraries 1

[rpbenito]

I have the source code for an old program written in C++ for a SGI machine. I am trying to compile it within my account on the SGI machine using gcc. I need to tell the compiler where the libraries are (I keep getting the error that the library files aren't found). I am new to gcc and SGI and unix. Could someone please direct me, I know I have to tell the compiler where the libraries are. I even know the path where the libraries are. PLEASE HELP!!!!

Thanks,
Pat

Use the command-line options -L and -l (lower-case L). Use -L to specify the path to the libraries and -l to specify the library itself. If the library name is, for example, "libio.a", you need "-lio" on the command line.
