compilation error - undefined symbol

[pathfino]

hi all,

i was compiling my program until i hit this error:

ld: 0711-317 ERROR: Undefined symbol:

my colleague told me that this was because the compiler could not take the library list to be linked at the time of linking. So he amended my make file.

my question is why the compiler could not take the library for linking?
the library is there in the lib directory.

can you provide me some advise on this? my colleague is busy with other thing.

thank you in advanced.

That directory is just somewhere the compiler looks for libraries. You still have to tell it which libraries you are using.
