Hi,
  Even if i try "gcc -L /usr/lib/libcurl.so myapp.c",also throws undefined
symbol reference.
As long as iam using '-lcurl' option,everything works fine(either libcurl
source or the linux installed libcurl).

I feel '-L' is to link to the specified library and -lcurl is the option
which tells the linker to pick the symbols from curl which are
not there in the library path specified with '-L'.So in both the cases
whether i build libcurl on my own or take from the OS,
i have to use -lcurl.Am i correct?

Am i missing anything here?

Thanks,
Sumana
