"/usr/bin/ld: cannot find library"
fortran, gcc, gfortran, ld, linker
Solution
As `../libanne4.0/lib` is a relative path, you might try changing it into an absolute one.
Also you could check whether the linker process has the rights to access and read the libs.
Update: To have the linker find a library specified using the option `-l<name>` the name of the libray shall be `lib<name>.[a|so]` and the parameter to `-L` should point the path were the library is located.
`-L` needs to preceed it's `-l` option(s).
One could specify `-l` and/or `-L` multiple times.
Problem
This is my first time trying to compile FORTRAN code using a makefile. The OS is Ubuntu 12.04 LTS 64 bit. I encountered the following errors: ``` gfortran -o przm3123.exe canopy.o chem.o cnfuns.o cropdate.o datemod.o debug.o debug_cn.o f2kcli.o floatcmp.o furrow.o general.o i_errchk.o infnan.o inivar.o ioluns.o iosubs.o lambertw.o m_readvars.o utils.o wind.o fcscnc.o przm3.o rsexec.o rsinp1.o rsinp2.o rsinp3.o rsmcar.o rsmisc.o rsprz1.o rsprz2.o rsprz3.o rsprzn.o rsutil.o rsvado.o -L ../libanne4.0/lib -lwdm -ladwdm -lutil /usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lwdm /usr/bin/ld: cannot find -ladwdm collect2: ld returned 1 exit status make: *** [przm3123.exe] Error 1 ``` The key element in the makefile is: ``` przm2_LIBS = -L ../libanne4.0/lib -lwdm -ladwdm -lutil ``` Is there anything I can do to fix this error? Should I try other compilers?
