- I tried to build Gnuplot 3.2, using the command make linux. Compilation
- ran ok, but when the linker was called, I got the error message
-
- ld: file not found for libm.a
-
- The loader options for CC were -lm -lXaw -lXmu -lXt -lXext -lX11 .
-
- Of course, removing the -lm option resulted in many missing symbol errors.
-
- Strange thing is, when I compiled a simple test program requiring a math
- function and using -lm, everything worked fine.
-
- I'm using 0.99 (compiled with Linus' two patches) and the library as
- supplied with the SLS 0.98pl5 version.
-
- What's going on?
