Compiling Mongo c driver example program

Question

I am beginning to learn about using the mongo-c-driver, but I have been having compilation issues when I run

gcc -g -Wall -Werror -Isrc --std=c99 mongo-c-driver/src/*.c -I mongo-c-driver/src/ intro.c -lmongoc 

I have already looked over the other stackoverflow post, found here cannot compile mongo-c-driver example , it did not help. Here is the output from my compiler

Update

Also, if I decide to run

gcc --std=c99 -Wall intro.c -lmongoc

my program will compile, but will give me the error

$ ./a.out 
./a.out: error while loading shared libraries: libmongoc.so.0.7: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

Answer 1

Another way to fix this issue, at least in fedora 18, is to run the following commands

su -c "echo /usr/local/lib > /etc/ld.so.conf.d/mongoc.conf"
su -c "ldconfig"

which correctly link the libraries from mongo-c-driver.

Answer 2

I have no idea why this example will not compile, but if I copy the src directory and make a lib directory, where all of the compiled binaries for the driver lie, the I can compile the program using

gcc --std=c99 -o test_program -Llib/ -Isrc/ test.c lib/libmongoc.a

where the directories are setup as follows

--test.c
--lib
|---libbson.a
|---libbson.so
|---libmongoc.a
|---libmongoc.so
--src
|---bcon.h
|---bon.c
|---env.c
|---env.h
|---etc.
