Hello,

While compiling gEDA 1.6.2 on Fedora 16 (Xfce) (./configure && make) I get
the following error message:
/usr/bin/ld: gschem-m_basic.o: undefined reference to symbol
'pow@@GLIBC_2.2.5'
/usr/bin/ld: note: 'pow@@GLIBC_2.2.5' is defined in DSO /lib64/libm.so.6
so try adding it to the linker command line
/lib64/libm.so.6: could not read symbols: Invalid operation

Googling around I found that Fedora has changed the behaviour of "ld"
See here:
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Features/ChangeInImplicitDSOLinking
and here:
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/UnderstandingDSOLinkChange

As I understand this I need to add the -llibm (?) to the LDFLAGS to remove
this error.

My questions are:
1. do I understand it correctly and
2. where do I add the -llibm flag
3. Is it libm the library I need to add.

Thanks.
Robert.
