Any more > suggestions? Did you try using the '-L' option on the compile command line? And you are using the '-l' option too? For example, you are trying to include /usr/local/libweird.a in your executable, you would need to have '-L/usr/local/lib -lweird' on the compile command line (if you are using default Makefile rules, just add the quoted portion to the LDCONFIG variable). IIRC, both ldconfig(8) and LD_LIBRARY_PATH are for the _runtime_ shared library linker and have nothing to do compiling programs. -- Crist J.
