title: /usr/bin/ld: cannot find -ll
body: <p>I'm running <code>make</code> which passes the following flags to <code>ld</code>:</p>
  
  <pre><code>LDLIBS=-ll -ldl -lreadline -lcurses
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>However, when running <code>make</code>, the linker fails with:</p>
  
  <pre><code>/usr/bin/ld: cannot find -ll
  collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I'm really not sure what shared object library <code>-ll</code> is referring to nor sure how to go about figuring it out.</p>
  
  <p>I'm trying this on a CentOS machine, so I tried to install the <code>'Development Tools'</code> package, thinking it must be something pretty generic:</p>
  
  <pre><code>sudo yum groupinstall 'Development Tools'
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>But with no avail.</p>
  
  <p>Where / what is the library? Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!</p>
