I wouldn't recommend doing this, since this approach will become unmaintainable once you have more complicated projects. My recommendation is to learn a bit about Makefiles (or about cmake or other alternatives if you prefer) and add the appropriate Makefile or other to your code directory. Then a simple "make" will always do the expected thing, and you do not need to change global configuration files.

I think that the installation actually went fine. But the command "make Test -lhealpix_cxx" will not work in practice - you cannot pass compilation and linker flags to "make" in this way. The command(s) that must be executed (with the help of "make" or in a different way is: g++ Test_cpp -I /home/medha/Programs/Healpix_3.82/include -L /home/medha/Programs/Healpix_3.82/lib -lhealpix_cxx (combined compilation and linking) or (separate compilation and linking): g++ Test.cpp -c -I /home/medha/Programs/Healpix_3.82/include...
