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

[Max Lungarella]

hi there,

that's right, both solutions are viable. if you plan to use gcc/g++, in
the long run you'd be better off with a "makefile" though. "man
makefile" and a search on goggle should provide you with enough
info/examples to get started.

cheers,
