math.h

[falconetti]

Hi

I am new to c programming. I am also a linux newbie.

Well, I am reading my first c book, "A Structured Programming Approach Using C" by Forouzan & Gilberg. So far everything has gone smooth and no real doubts have arised, at least till I started reading chapter where math functions are introduced. It seems like none of the most common math functions are included in math.h. Functions like ceil, floor, sqrt or pow are just strange to the compiler, that keeps giving me errors.

Is there any package I could download and install in order to solve the problem?

Thanks in advance.

Try

gcc prog.c -lm

That's minus lowercase LM

Thank you Salem !

Command gcc -lm prog.c solved the linking problem
