gcc linking error
Hi,
I was tryign to install svgalib for using graphics in C. Tried to install svgalib. though i followed the instructions for installation correctly to my knowledge, i am getting the following error when i tried to compile a program. gcc sample.c -o sample -lvga.c gives me the following error /usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lvga collect2: ld returned 1 exit status All the header files were installed in /usr/local/includel so used ln /usr/include/vga* -> /usr/local/include/vga* since i was trying to link vga.h. but still it did not work I have used previous gcc -lm to include math.h. any views why this error occurred?

Also, you may need to configure file /etc/vga/libvga.config. It is Configuration file for svgalib.
If you don't have root level access then Other config file locations is ~/.svgalibrc i.e. /home/yourname/.svgalibrc. If you need to see examples then they are located in /usr/share/doc/svgalib/examples/

kavi, look like you don't have svgalib installed...btw you got which distro? If it is debain then use following command to install it:
Code:
apt-get install svgalib-bin
