[chenpeib]

hi everyone
I installed the libid3tag library and now I want to link to libid3tag.so.0 ( it exist in /usr/lib/ ),but ld complains
"/usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lid3tag".
Can anyone help me ?Thanks in advance .

The compiler looks for a library called libid3tag.so. What's the name of the library you installed and in which directory did it get installed ? If you've got , say, a library called libid3tag.so.0 in /usr/lib, switch user to root

su -

go to the installation library

cd /usr/lib

make a symbolic link to the library calling it what the compiler expects

ln -s libid3tag.so.0 libid3tag.so

and recompile

or

yum install libid3tag-devel

which will create the symbolic link, and required header file
