[Gllug] library includes and compiling

[Anthony Baldwin]

you could link the open GL library in the defualt search path
of gcc - say in /lib. not a great idea really.
or try editing the specs file for gcc.
or make gcc an alias.

Subject: [Gllug] library includes and compiling


I'm trying to compile against the OpenGL libraries in /usr/X11R6/lib by
doing

gcc source.c -lGL

but it doesn't find them.  I have /usr/X11R6/lib in /etc/ld.so.conf and
I've run ldconfig. I guess that this is related to run-time linking though
rather than compile-time linker search directories because it doesn't help.
I can compile using

gcc source.c -L/usr/X11R6/lib -lGL

but I was hoping to aviod this if possible.
Can anyone help?

JD
