fisher: If you are using Microsoft Visual C++, make sure that the directory containing the DirectX 8 libs come before the preconfigured directories, since MSVC++ comes with an old version of DX (3 I think), and the linker will use whatever libraries it finds first.

The same goes for the include directories.

go to menu and select tools->option
look for the directories tab.
on the drop down list is set to "include files"
and include the path of your sdk/include path
on the drop down list, set it to "library files" and set the path
to sdk/lib

then link them by going to menu->Project->settings
click on the link tab and add the .lib file u need into the long list of .lib file name

hope that help
