I need to add a C library to C project in Eclipse indigo.
What I’ve done so far.
I’ve downloaded and installed the library.
All headers are in folder /usr/include, library.so files are in folder /usr/lib.
After having read a tutorial I tried to do it like this:
When in Eclipse -> Project -> C/C++ Build -> Settings -> GCC C Linker -> Libaries -> Add libary -> “ibxml2” ( library name is libxml2 )
But it still doesn’t work.
I am a super newbie at Linux, so please could you give me some advise how to do that?
there is a screenshot, that might be helpfful

By the way one more thing. After creating a new C/C++ Project when I run an error occurs ” Launch failed! Binary not found”. I checked “Binary Parsers” in Project’s Settings and “Elf Parser” is set ( I’ve read that it is OK for Linux ), so what is wrong? It is not so important, since it works when I first only build project and then run it, but maybe there is a way to solve that too?

    In linker options, you should not add “libxml2”, but just “xml2”. All binary libraries in Linux (so files) have a “lib” prefix that is not a part of library name.
