I don't believe that the Intel Linux and MacOSX compilers support 
auto-linking at all: it's an MSVC specific feature really.

Does it complain that it can't find the libraries, or simply give unresolved 
external error messages?  If the latter then you will have to supply the 
library file name on the command line just like you do with gcc.

HTH, John.
