Hello,

I'm trying to compile a test program from one of the libgretl examples on 64bit Linux Mint 17.3. My goal is to call gretl routines from C. 

I think configure went ok (linked it to lapack:  sudo LAPACK_LIBS=/usr/lib/liblapack.a ./configure). Then make, make install and sudo ldconfig.

I run the following command (and other countless variations) to compile:

gcc -o gretl_test -L/usr/local/lib/libgretl-1.0.so `pkg-config --cflags --libs glib-2.0` gretl_test.c 

However, I get the following errors:

/tmp/ccCyYTcx.o: In function `main':

gretl_test.c:(.text+0x22): undefined reference to `libgretl_init'

gretl_test.c:(.text+0x31): undefined reference to `gretl_print_new'

gretl_test.c:(.text+0xf0): undefined reference to `gretl_print_destroy'

gretl_test.c:(.text+0xf5): undefined reference to `libgretl_cleanup'

I'm a relatively new convert to linux as well as gretl, is there something obvious that I'm missing?

Thank you.
