linux libraries

["W. Kent Treichel" <mapman@visi.com>]

This is not exactly a Linux question, but maybe someone has an answer. 
I have a C program I tried to compile on my Linux box, RH 5.0.  My level
of proficiency in either C or Linux/Unix is rudimentary at best.  I did
not write the program but I thought I could figure out how to compile
it, it seemed rather straightforward.  After attempting to compile the
program, I received a list of errors.  I wasn't shocked and I think I
understood most of it.  The errors stated that it couldn't find or use a
variety of math operators, sin, cos, sqrt, acos, and pow.  I looked
through the program and found the formulas, then I found math.h on the
system and it was there.  it seems for some reason that it doesn't like
the Linux math.h or maybe not.  This program did compile using cc on a
sun Unix machine.  Incidentally, I also tried compiling on our AIX
machine and received the same errors.  Thank you for your time and
consideration.
