linkng libraries

[rwgreenwood]

I have been trying to link the psplot graphics library when compiling some fortran code, using the command

>g77 box+.for -o box+.exe -lpsplot

but I keep getting the message

>ld: library not found for -lpsplot

I have set the PATH to include the usr/local/lib directory where the libpsplot.a file resides, so I can't fathom what the problem is. Any ideas out there - am I missing something ridiculously simple?

I am new to MAC OS X, but have previously run this code with no problem under DOS/Windows, so am somewhat frustrated ...

grateful for any help

G77 is obsolete. This is the Intel Fortran Forum.

PATH is for locating executable files. You need to use the option -L /usr/local/lib to have the linker search for libraries in that location. Alternatively, provide a symlink to libpsplot.a in the expected place.
