Your library was simply named wrongly if it was called myfile.dylib.  
If you want the compiler and linker to find a dynamic library, its  
name must start with lib, so libmyfile.dylib (because to the linker  
you can only say -lmyfile, and then it automatically searches for  
libmyfile.dylib; maybe it also searches for libmyfile.so nowadays, I  
don't know).
