The linker should then find the compiled libev in your lib folder. Depending on the system , it may be located in : /usr/local/lib

The compiled .so shared object will be found when given the -lev flag at compile time .

If you encounter errors with dynamic linking, you can set a search path to the directory where your libev resides. Let’s say that it is in /usr/local/lib . You could tell the linker to search that directory by typing this in command line:

LD_RUN_PATH=/usr/local/lib
export LD_RUN_PATH
