Error when linking with libmongoclient in c++ - c++

Question

When I start compiling the code with clang, it seems like libmongoclient doesn't exist. However, I compile the legacy version of mongo-cxx-client on this ubuntu machine. This code is working correctly on my Mac.
clang -lstdc++ -stdlib=libc++ -lcurl -lpthread -ljsoncpp -lboost_system -lboost_regex -lmongoclient -L/usr/lib main.o qqlogin.o fetcher.o -o qq_crawler
this is the code for linking. It didn't make any difference with or without the parameter -lmongoclient. I have already make sure it is under the correct path and the compile are able to search it.

Put your object files before the libraries:
clang -stdlib=libc++ main.o qqlogin.o fetcher.o -L/usr/lib -lcurl -lpthread
-ljsoncpp -lboost_system -lboost_regex -lmongoclient -o qq_crawler
