Makefile which link to library in C++

Recently, I try to create an makefile as below:

all:
     g++ test.cpp -o Test

It creates an runnable Test. However, If I try to link it to an library (as LibCurl to use SSL connetion):

all:
     g++ test.cpp -o Test -lcurl

It goes wrong (I already installed libcurl4-openssl-dev package as standard library)! What does I miss? Can you give any solution? Thanks!!

Edit: The error is below:

fatal error: curl.h: No such file or directory

The header files are missing in the include search path.

You will have install the development package of libcurl. For example, install libcurl-devel-7.19.0-11.1.x86_64.rpm for Open Suse 11.1.

To know the list of files that would be installed by the rpm, download the rpm, type the following command in the downloaded dir.

rpm -qlp <rpmname>

As per the example above, the command would be rpm -qlp libcurl-devel-7.19.0-11.1.x86_64.rpm

This will list the files along with the path in which it would be installed to. In our example, the result would look like..

/usr/include/curl /usr/include/curl/curl.h /usr/include/curl/curlbuild.h
/usr/include/curl/curlrules.h
/usr/include/curl/curlver.h and so on...

and

Install the development libcurl package for the version of linux you use and include #include <curl/curl.h> in your code.

Refer http://curl.haxx.se/download.html to download the right one

I guess, you need fix your sources:

#include <curl/curl.h>
