I'm trying to use NTL library, but I always get compiler errors about undefined symbols.
Example (taken from the NTL documentation):
#include <NTL/ZZ.h>
NTL_CLIENT
int main()
{
ZZ a, b, c;
cin >> a;
cin >> b;
c = (a+1)*(b+1);
cout << c << "\n";
}
Result:

The NTL headers are in /usr/include/NTL, so they should be included.
What's the problem? Am I compiling in the wrong way? If so, where can I find the right way, since it seems like there is not such a thing like "how to compile with ntl" in the documentation?
If I use using namespace NTL instead of NTL_CLIENT nothing changes:
$ ls /usr/lib | grep libntl
libntl-5.4.2.so
libntl.a
libntl.so
$ ls /usr/include | grep NTL
NTL
$ g++ -L/usr/lib -lntl -lgmp -lm simple.cpp
