Q:  How can I tell InterfaceBuilder to link against more libraries?

A:  In Release 2, this is easy. Select Other libs in the Project inspector, and click Add...  A panel opens allowing you to add a library.  InterfaceBuilder lists added libraries in alphabetical order in the Project Inspector's browser.  If necessary, you can change their order by control-dragging the library names.  If the Library doesn't reside in /usr/lib you also have to add a Makefile.preamble file to the project with the variable OTHER_LIBS set to the library's directory. For example

	OTHER_LIBS = -L/OtherLibsDir

In Release 1, you need to have a file called Makefile.preamble in addition to the Makefile.  In this file, assign a value to the variable OTHER_LIBS.  For example:

	OTHER_LIBS = -ltext

The value of LIBS will be the library listed above plus NeXT_s and sys_s, which are linked in by the Makefile.

In Release 3, first open your project folder (PB.project) via ProjectBuilder, then select the Libraries folder. 
Select Add from the Files menu.  A panel opens allowing you to add a Library.  Note that you also need to add a Makefile.preamble with the OTHER_LIBS option to your project as described for Release 2,  if your Library doesn't reside in /usr/lib.
