[ODE] Newbie: gcc apparently not finding libode.a

[Micheál O'Brien]

I tried compiling it too and got the same errors. The problem is that -lode 
needs to go after main.c on the command line. 
 
Both of the following work. 
 
g++ -oodetest main.c -lode 
gcc -oodetest main.c -lode -lm -lstdc++ 
 
Good luck, 
Micheál
