When I try to link, the linker tells me that the library in question is "could not find file or directory" (I forget the actual wording). I've tried placing the compiled libraries in every concievable directory, but no go - everything else works fine. I've tried to link through the command line (-l) and through Rhide, but still get the same message. I'm sure I'm just doing something stupid but I can't work out what. Has anyone got any ideas?
