linker can't find libraries

[jenia.ivlev]

I can't link my program "set-manipulation" with the libraries it needs.

Here is the message: 

    gcc -L/home/jenia/learn-c-the-hard-way/lib -lset_theory -g -Wall -I/home/jenia/learn-c-the-hard-way/lib/include -o "set-manipulation" main.o
    /usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lset_theory
    collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status
    Makefile:9: recipe for target 'set-manipulation' failed
    make: *** [set-manipulation] Error 1



Here is the content of `-L/home/jenia/learn-c-the-hard-way/lib`: 

      /home/jenia/learn-c-the-hard-way/lib:

      -rwxr-xr-x  1 jenia jenia 9664 Nov  1 12:47 set_theory.so -- 11
    


Here is the makefile which give the error (the makefile of set-manipulation program):


    PREFIX?=/home/jenia/learn-c-the-hard-way
    CFLAGS=-g -Wall -I${PREFIX}/lib/include
    LDFLAGS=-L${PREFIX}/lib
    INSTALL_DIR=${PREFIX}/apps
    
    all: set-manipulation
    
    set-manipulation: main.o
    	gcc $(LDFLAGS) -lset_theory $(CFLAGS) -o "$@" main.o

    
    install: all
    	install -d $(INSTALL_DIR)/set-manipulation
    	install set-manipulation $(INSTALL_DIR)/set-manipulation
    
    clean:
    	rm -f *.o
    	rm -f set-manipulation
    	rm -rf *.dSYM
        


Can someone please tell me how to link my program with it's library?


Thanks
