(g++2.95) can't link to lib

[Igor Markov]

  I am not able to link a sample main() to a sample static library.
  g++ -c libSample.cxx main.cxx   
  g++ libSample.o main.o 
i.e., works
  ar cr libSample.a libSample.o
  g++ libSample.a libSample.o
  /usr/lib/crt1.o: In function `_start':
  /usr/lib/crt1.o(.text+0x18): undefined reference to `main'
  collect2: ld returned 1 exit status                     
i.e., does not work
  g++ -shared  -o libSample.so libSample.o
  g++ libSample.so main.o 
i.e., works
  ./a.out
./a.out: error in loading shared libraries: libSample.so: cannot open shared   
 object file: No such file or directory          
 
   this doesn't work... how do I embed the library's location into the
   executable? (-h and -R options for SunPro CC, but I can't find anything
   similar for gcc and -B does not seem to do the job).

   Thanks,
								Igor
