You mean "location" i.e. in the file system? As far as I know
packages on most Linuxes, including ubuntu, install into system
standard locations, maybe something like /usr/lib or /opt/ssl .
"System" locations vary for different Unixes but are usually the same
for different libraries on the same Unix, so you might be better off
asking people who know about ubuntu in particular.
If it is in a standard location, your gcc (assuming your gcc is
the correct package of gcc for your Unix) should find it.
If you have some kind of nonstandard perhaps experimental package,
and you know where it is installed, -L/path/to/libdir is the gcc way
to specify additional library directories. (The -Ldir must occur
before the/any -llib that's lower-ell that needs it.)
You always need to make sure you *compile* with headers that are
compatible with the library(ies) you *link* with; if you are linking
with libraries in a nonstandard location you may need -I/path/to/incdir
that's upper-eye (for gcc) to find the corresponding headers. I'm not sure
if -I must precede the sourcefile(s) but I put it there for clarity.
And if you have a non-package build, such as one you did yourself
from source, both of these (-L and -I) are much more likely.

You haven't obeyed the response Friday asking for the actual error.
There are many possible errors and exactly which one you have may
point to very different causes and solutions.
