what distribution do you use?
if you have a package-installation tool like apt; you can use it to search
for files and packages. for instance, I use Debian Linux, and if I wanted a
libgnet2 package; I'd do:

$apt-cache search libgnet
libgnet-dev - Developer files for GNet network library
libgnet2.0-0 - GNet network library
libgnetwork1.0-0 - networking wrapper library using Glib/GObject
libgnetwork1.0-dev - networking wrapper library using Glib/GObject
(development files)

then to install it, I'd type:
$su -

After unpacking 274kB of additional disk space will be used.

without the --download-only option, it would have gone ahead and installed
the libgnet2.0-0 package, after downloading it.

If you don't have a tool like apt installed (there are several); you might
have to hunt down the package and all its dependencies. Most distros these
days support auto-download and dependency checking tho; with some sort of
tool they ship. (IMHO, apt is by far the best tho).
