That might explain it then! (Although I may well have had problems with 
it finding .a files too.)

I'll have to bail out here but I'm not completely sure what .a files 
are; I've certainly never created them.

(These days I use .so or .dll files as their format is not tied to a 
compiler and the content can be accessed from any language. Although it 
it was necessary, I might be able to turn a .a file into .so/.dll.)
