getting libraries for gcc

Is there anyway to find out what libraries one can link with gcc?

ie -lGL....etc

Most of the libraries installed on your box will be in /lib, /usr/lib, /usr/local/lib, and /usr/X11/lib. In most cases, these are C and C++ libraries as scripting languages like Perl and Python have their own lib directories. All of the paths that gcc (or the linker, specifically) will search are in /etc/ld.so.conf

Check out the gcc site for more info..
Hope that helps.
