Linux shared libraries - I'm confused

Just in case someone is getting the same or a similar error and is
confused as I was.

The problem is that your library propably requires another library and
the you have to tell the linker to explicitly link the 3rd party
library in yours. Do this by adding "-L-lc" to your build flags...
