Ok, now I understand.

Well, you either install the library on the other computer or
you need to link statically (in which case the library becomes
part of the executable) and then you have to give your friend
the executable (which, of course, requires, that he's using a
computer that is similar emough, i.e. same processor type etc.).

If you want to link statically the simplest way I found on
my machine was to change the line

$(CC) survey_main.o survey.o survey_cb.o -o $(OUTPUT) -lforms -lpthread

in your Makefile to

$(CC) survey_main.o survey.o survey_cb.o -o $(OUTPUT) -lpthread -lm -lX11 -Xpm 
/usr/local/lib/libforms.a

That, of course, expects that on your friends machine everything
otherwise necessary is installed. If you want to see all libraries
your program is linked against use

ldd survey

which should give you a list of all those libraries.

                             Regards, Jens
