    No pow()?

    I thought the pow() function in math.h was a given. But I'm surprised the compiler doesn't recognize it in my program even though I included the math.h library.

    I'm using gcc in Mandrake Linux. Has anyone else had this problem?

    Did you link with the library (-lm [dash ell em])?

    Learn to distinguish complier and linker errors.
