I was having a similar problem this evening, and the above solution
works.  In particular it is the  -lm  option to gcc which is the fix.
This leads to the question, what other libraries must be explicitly
specified and how can I figure out thier names?   I am not terribly
experienced with linux/gcc  and have spent the last couple of days
re-loading linux thinking that I had trashed some of the shared
libraries somehow.
