Hi,

1- what does "make [N]" mean? are they showing the stack trace?
2- That library file is actually existed. My question is how can I trace to see what is the problem exactly. For example since the file exists, the problem maybe with paths.

Hi, Gnu make debug information is verbose and hard to trace. I use remake to debug Makefile.
