Hi,

I installed Damn Small Linux and I've been having fun with it. I have
a question about compiling. I untarred a RevealRadio program in my
home directory and used "make". It stops with this error:
/usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lgcc_s

>From searching usenet I know that it's a problem of not finding the
library. So I look in /usr/lib and libgcc_s.so is there but the
compiler is looking in a different directory which has a symbolic link
to libgcc_s.so. Why won't it work?

Thanks,
Mike

For anyone interested I did finally get the program to compile. I did
a smaller test program "Hello World" and put in all of the include
statements that the radio program used. I just typed in a simple gcc
statement and didn't use a make file and everything compiled. Next I
commented out extra instructions for the compiler in the radio program
makefile and the program compiled.
