undefined reference to `sin' [message #1853449]

Hello,
I think this is just a little problem:
I try to calculate a sinus value.
The relevant code is:

#include <math.h>
...
double angle, clearance;
....
clearance = sin(angle*M_PI/180.)*5.0;

here I get a linker error:
undefined reference to `sin'
What may be the problem?
Thanks a lot in advance.
Kurt

You did tell the compiler how the sine function can be called, by including the header file.

Obviously you did not tell the linker to add the math library (-lm on linker command line).
