I am using Debian, and I have installed the package "argtable" from source.
I have the following files on my system:

/usr/local/lib/libargtable2.a
/usr/local/lib/libargtable2.so
/usr/local/lib/libargtable2.so.3

I have downloaded the example file mv.c, from the argtable website at:
http://argtable.sourceforge.net/

On compilation, I get errors as follows:

$ cc mv.c
tcc: undefined symbol 'arg_str0'
tcc: undefined symbol 'arg_lit0'
tcc: undefined symbol 'arg_rem'
tcc: undefined symbol 'arg_filen'
tcc: undefined symbol 'arg_end'
tcc: undefined symbol 'arg_nullcheck'
tcc: undefined symbol 'arg_parse'
tcc: undefined symbol 'arg_print_syntax'
tcc: undefined symbol 'arg_print_glossary'
tcc: undefined symbol 'arg_print_errors'
tcc: undefined symbol 'arg_freetable'

I can produce an object file, as follows:

$ cc -c mv.c

This works ok and produces mv.o. (I don't know how to link this)

$ gcc mv.c

This errors as follows (some output has been lost off the top of the screen):
/tmp/ccSgX617.o(.text+0x393): In function `main':
: undefined reference to `arg_lit0'
/tmp/ccSgX617.o(.text+0x3b2): In function `main':

: undefined reference to `arg_print_errors'
/tmp/ccSgX617.o(.text+0x6e4): In function `main':
: undefined reference to `arg_freetable'
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status

I think maybe some environment variables need setting, or a config file needs 
changing for the libraries to be located.

Thanks in advance to anyone who can help.

Regards,

Mark.
