You not only need the library paths, but also the proper include paths  
to find the header files.  You can compile the examples using the  
Makefile we supply.  For this, you have to be in the gecode root  
directory (i.e. the directory above the examples directory), and you  
can just type e.g. make examples/queens.  If you want to compile an  
example by hand, just use the same command line arguments for gcc as  
in our Makefile  (in particular, make sure that the Gecode headers as  
well as the Gecode root directory, i.e., examples/.., is mentioned in  
an -I argument).
