LD_LIBRARY_PATH doesn't seem to work

Question

I\'m trying to compile a test file:

gcc -o test  test.c -lg2c

but I get the error:

/usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lg2c

Answer 1

Create a new folder inside your home directory (not root directory!). Copy all the required library associated with -lg2c from /usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-redhat-linux/3.4.6 to this folder.

Set the path in your bash profile to this new folder.

I also got this issue, and solve it with this workaround. Perhaps we (as non-root users) don't have the necessary access/right to /usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-redhat-linux/3.4.6
