Package: libstdc++2.9-glibc2.1
Version: 2.91.66-4
Date; 1 April 2001
When attempting to cheat on my algebra homework, I attempted to square
some numbers via the sqrt (see man 3 sqrt) function. Howevever, the
following c program fails to compile:
#include <math.h>
main() {
double i=9;double j;
j = sqrt(i);
return 0;
}
Output:
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ gcc test.c -o test
/tmp/cc49CcOy.o: In function `main':
/tmp/cc49CcOy.o(.text+0x1c): undefined reference to `sqrt'
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
Results: I will fail my algebra test, become a bum, and never figure out
what times itself is 9, thereby ending my budding tic-tac-toe professional
career, and reducing me to a life of rotgut and warm exaust grates.
Suggested Resolution:
Immediately withdraw all versions of libstdc from all Debian GNU
distributions, and all packages dependant upon glibc until such time as
either the manual page for sqrt is correct, or sqrt is indeed collected.
The good news is that Debian GNU will once again fit upon one CD. :)
