I downloaded the pre built headers and libraries for Intel TBB from Intel's TBB website. I updated ldconfig to add the tbb shared library to /usr/lib. However on compiling with -tbb the code using g++ ld returns -1 as it is unable to find libtbb
libtbb.so.2 is present in /usr/lib/
here is my full g++ output
g++ hellotbb.cpp -o htbb -I$HOME/libs/tbb43/include -v -ltbb
Using built-in specs.
