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.
