[CALUG] gcc question

[James Ewing Cottrell 3rd]

What you want is an environment variable called something like 
LD_LIBRARY_PATH. RTFM for gcc, ld, and probably ld.so.

You might try using -v on gcc to see exactly which commands are being 
run. You might also need the startup routines, with names like crt0.o.

Let us know what you come up with.
