What's wrong:
The man page says libraries are loaded from /lib, /usr/lib, and
/usr/local/lib:
-lx This option is an abbreviation for the library name
`libx.a', where x is a string. Ld searches for
libraries first in any directories specified with -L
options, then in the standard directories `/lib',
`/usr/lib', and `/usr/local/lib'. A library is
searched when its name is encountered, so the placement
of a -l is significant.
What should have happened:
It should mention that at Athena we added in /usr/athena/lib before
/usr/local/lib in the normal search path.
