Re: shared library problem

["Vani R." <vani@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi sumit,

That's fine. It works for me also. but what i want is using -L and -l options.
I am giving the library path where the .so file is existing and -l option to
specify the library name ( mylib.so ) . But when i use these options , i am
getting error as "mylib.so - no such file or directory" . What should i do ??

Thanks ,
