I am taking CS50, and since I am now using linux, I was hoping that I could do my coding for the CS50 problem sets on my local computer, instead of on the cloud9 ide. So I cloned the CS50 library from here and installed it, but when I try to compile my code with tcc like this:

tcc -lcs50 tideman.c

I get this error:

tcc: error: library 'cs50' not found

How can I fix this?

Can you try `tcc tideman.c -lcs50`? – Sourav Ghosh Aug 25 '20 at 07:39
also, you need to ensure that you update the library path on your system. – Sourav Ghosh Aug 25 '20 at 07:40
You first suggestion yields the same result. How would I update the library path? – AJ-Williams1 Aug 25 '20 at 07:43
maybe see [this one](https://stackoverflow.com/q/13428910/2173917)? – Sourav Ghosh Aug 25 '20 at 07:44
Even after updating the library path like that I still get the same thing. – AJ-Williams1 Aug 25 '20 at 07:48
Is the library located in the path you specified? Did you check after installing the lib? – Gerhardh Aug 25 '20 at 08:13
Yes it is, in /usr/local/lib – AJ-Williams1 Aug 25 '20 at 15:03
