Inauspicious Beginning

[Binyomin Kaplan <binyomin gs net>]

I tired to compile the first "HelloWorld" from the GTK+ 1.0
tutorial accessible through the main GTK+ site.
(www.gtk.org/tutorial1.0). I used all the flags etc.
with gcc that I was instructed to use, and I got the following error
message: -L/usr/lib: No such file or directory.
I am running RedHat 5.2 with GTK 1.0.6 and GCC 2.7.2.3
What went wrong?

Thanks in advance,

Binyomin
