The compiler did its work correctly, however, as you use static linkage, you have to tell "ldd" where to look for the library libpapi.so.3: Either you can do it system-wide by changing /etc/ld.so.conf (on linux), or by defining the environment-variable LD_LIBRARY_PATH e.g. in bash, LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$LD_LIBRARY_PATH:/path-to-libpapi ldd mylibrary.o should work (You could also use LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/path-to-libpapi, however I repeated the $LD_LIBRARY_PATH for the case that this variable had already been defined...)
