Just install them in /usr/local/lib and it should find them there.

Thanks for the tip, David. Unfortunately it did not work. dxconfig.h does not seem to affect about the compilation behavior. I had to use project/solution explorer to get rid of the library links as well as the source files. But then I would encounter many error messages complaining missing methods related to cdf/netcdf/hdf. etc. Hence I decided to compile and install those libraries on cygwin. Still, VisualDX would complain about the same message of not been able to find files related to those libraries even though they are in my cygwin installation. Is there a way to refresh/specify the header file/library search path under cygwin? I could not find anything resemble the way people do that kind of stuff in linux. Please advise and many thanks!
