Linking of libprotobuf-c.so failing while building executable

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. installed protobuf-c & protoc-c n Ubuntu 11.10 using sudo apt-get install , 
protoc & protobuf were already installed by default on Ubuntu installation. 
(installation by downloading package has failed)
2. tried to compile sample program with linking libprotobuf-c.so
3. Linking failure happend , but failing to find out whats really going wrong 

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?

Error like:
neel@ubuntu:~/Work$ cc -o serial serialize.c -I../GPB/protobuf-c-0.15/src/ 
-L/usr/lib -lprotobuf-c
/usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lprotobuf-c
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
neel@ubuntu:~/Work$ 

but i have all the required libraries with linking

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?

Ubuntu 11.10

neel@ubuntu:~/Work$ type protoc
protoc is hashed (/usr/bin/protoc)
neel@ubuntu:~/Work$ type protoc-c
protoc-c is hashed (/usr/bin/protoc-c)

Hi

the problem has been solved once i install gcc & g++ freshly on my Ubuntu & 
then installed protobuf-c & protobuf package on my system.

N.B:

1) make install requires root credentials hence - "sudo make install" will work.
2) dont forget to compile *.pb-c.c with your source code.

Thanks
Anjan
