Hello, I'm familiar with compiling and installing binaries but I'm needing a little guidance about compiling with library support. I have the libraries installed just fine. Just how do I re-compile a binary with library support?
Thanks for any help.

You need to rebuild from source

 

[franklin97355]

take a look at make.

./configure --help
works well in most cases for showing you which libraries the source may have dependencies on and how to specify their paths.

Sometimes just having the libraries installed is not enough, if you have installed them from a package ( like RPM ) you may also need the corresponding "devel" package, that includes the required "C" header files.

For instance, to run an applcation that needs libfoo, you probably need something like: libfoo-1.0.0.rpm

But to recompile the program, you might also need: libfoo-devel-1.0.0.rpm
