Finding "*lmyth-0.20.1*" will turn up nothing.  The library name will
be "libmyth-0.20*".  Try

find / -iname "libmyth\*"

The '-l' flag is used by gcc to link a library to a compiled object
file.  From the man page:

-llibrary
-l library

<cut>

The linker searches a standard list of directories for the library,
which is actually a file named liblibrary.a.  The linker then uses
this file as if it had been specified precisely by name.
