I want to install libnl package so I can use its APIs to communicate with wireless driver of my computer. I have checked the package status with dpkg -s libnl-3-200. The result is:
Package: libnl-3-200
Status: install ok installed
Priority: optional
Section: libs
Installed-Size: 168

Architecture: amd64

Source: libnl3
Version: 3.2.27-1ubuntu0.16.04.1
Depends: libc6 (>= 2.14)

Description: library for dealing with netlink sockets
This is a library for applications dealing with netlink sockets.
The library provides an interface for raw netlink messaging and various
netlink family specific interfaces.
Homepage: http://www.infradead.org/~tgr/libnl/
Original-Maintainer: Heiko Stuebner <mmind@debian.org>
In order to write program, I need to include files like:
#include <netlink/netlink.h>
#include <netlink/cache.h>
#include <netlink/route/link.h>
But the make cannot find these header files and my /usr/include/ does not have netlink folder. My /usr/lib/ does not have anything with libnl in it. Should I install another package?

Thanks! I installed it. For some reason the includes are installed in/usr/include/libnl3/netlinkfolder. This causesmaketo give me errors since other includes in included files assumenetlinkfolder is in/usr/include/and not in/usr/include/libnl3/. Can I movenetlinkfolder from/usr/include/libnl3/to/usr/include/without causing any problems?

NO! don't mess with location of system files. Instead usepkg-config --cflagsor add an appropriate-Idirective

I did define an-Idirective and it solved the problem. Now I need to providemakewith a library name. What is that name? I am looking for a library in/usr/lib/folder but I cannot find any folder or file withlibnlin its name.

According topkg-config --libs libnl-3.0the appropriate library directive is-lnl-3(corresponding to library namelibnl-3)

I did define an
-I directive and it solved the problem. Now I need to provide make with a library name. What is that name? I am looking for a library in /usr/lib/ folder but I cannot find any folder or file with libnl in its name.– Masoud

According to
pkg-config --libs libnl-3.0 the appropriate library directive is -lnl-3 (corresponding to library name libnl-3)– steeldriver
