Undefined reference to pow

[Trespasser]

I'm embarrassed. I can't make this go:

#include <math.h>

main(int argc, char ** argv)
{
double result;

result = pow(2.0, 3);

}

I get undefined reference to pow.

Any clues?

I'm embarrassed. I can't make this go:

#include <math.h>

main(int argc, char ** argv) missing return type
{
double result;

result = pow(2.0, 3);

}

I get undefined reference to pow.

Thats a linker error, not a compilation error. Are you linking the
appropriate libraries?

Thanks Neelesh for the very quick reply.

Ah, I understand. I need to maybe link in a a mathematics library module
when I compile with GCC. If that's not exactly it, then I think I'm back on
track a bit. Thanks.

Yep. 'GCC -lm source.c' fixed it!

Thanks again.
