Fedora 8/EC2: ld cannot find library

I'm trying to get gcc to work on an Amazon EC2 image of Fedora 8, but I'm running into an issue with the libraries. ld is not finding -lz -lm -lbz2.

I've tried adding -L /lib and -L /usr/lib to the arguments for gcc, but it is still not working.

What am I missing?

Where are the libraries located? Did you locate the libs at the paths you are using with the -L option?

The libs are in /usr/bin as far as I can tell.

@Dave - How can you specify libs in /usr/bin?-L/lib and -L/usr/lib tells the compiler to fetch the libraries from these locations which you are specifying using -l option./usr/bin doesn't have libraries considering the naming of the folders. However if you have a lib in that in extreme case, you may want to use the compilation option -L/usr/bin. This is strange solution for me considering i have never seen libs at this location let alone use it.
