problem using gcc

problem using gcc

[Cindy Chung]

Hi,

I'm very new at this stuff and I can't seem to figure
out why the gcc compiler is not working. It seems from
the error that it can't find the standard library?

I really appreciate any assistance!

$ gcc -o server server.c -lnsl -lsocket
server.c: In function `main':

libnsl is not a standard library. And yes, you are correct that it
cannot find it.
