gcc library question

[jimctu]

hi everyone
im doing a project with the miracl library...
i make it works fine with codeblocks on ubuntu 9.04...
but in my project i have to measure the performace of the algorithm, so i decided to use the time command on linux, but when i compile my project on the prompt it doesnt find the miracl library. On codeblocks i just added the path to the linker...so i think i have to do it too with gcc, but i dont know how...
anyone knows how i can do this?

There are a couple of ways to do this:

when linking: g++ -R<path_to_directory>

Or set your LD_LIBRARY_PATH variable (like PATH, but contains directories of libraries) before running the executable.
