I am happy to say I solved my compile problem by reading back to
November 17 and another person asked why the math references were a
problem.

 The thing to do then is -lm Link a library, a math library.. Duh..

 Well that's my speed :)

 I'm sure I have more questions.

I'm glad that comp.lang.c was able to help! Now if you could only refer
this information to the about 10'000 newbie C programmers who are going
to face the same problem in the next month or so... =)

Well, you'd have saved some time and learned PLENTY of other useful
