if I compile : #include <math.h> double Summx2 = 2.0; double StandardDeviation; int main (int argc, char **argv) { StandardDeviation = sqrt(Summx2); return 0; } with : gcc `pkg-config --cflags gtk+-3.0` -o "test" "test.c" `pkg-config --libs gtk+-3.0` I receive /usr/local/bin/ld: /tmp//ccQtgX7c.o: undefined reference to symbol 'sqrt@@FBSD_1.0' /usr/local/bin/ld: /lib/libm.so.5: error adding symbols: DSO missing from command line collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status Its only the problem part I need gtk for display the GUI, the full programm ist to long.
sqrt is provided by libm. That's what the error message tells you.
I cannot reproduce here, please also check if you have -lm passed to cc. Please test again in the newer release and updated pacakges.
