Adding libraries

[nathanf534]

I am new to both Ubuntu (9.10) and code::blocks, so I am having some trouble including a library.

Code

-------------- Build: Debug in test ---------------

g++ -Wall -fexceptions  -g     -c /home/nathan/test/main.cpp -o obj/Debug/main.o
g++ -L/usr/lib  -o bin/Debug/test obj/Debug/main.o    file:///usr/lib/libpcap.a
g++: file:///usr/lib/libpcap.a: No such file or directory
Process terminated with status 1 (0 minutes, 0 seconds)
0 errors, 0 warnings 

libpcap.a is located in usr/lib

any suggestions of how I can fix this, or any more information you need to help me?

Thank you very much.

g++ -L/usr/lib  -o bin/Debug/test obj/Debug/main.o    file:///usr/lib/libpcap.a

Remove the "file://" protocol handler in you linker options. I am not aware that GCC can handle this.
