I'm sure someone has attempted to post a reply, as I've done myself.  I 
guess you didn't try obvious possibilities, like replacing -lg2c with 
the entire path of the library you desire, as you didn't say what errors 
came about.  If you cared, evidently g++ -print-search-dirs would show 
you which directories are searched for libraries.
