My bad -- I got the meaning that there was a compiler error, but instead
it was a linker error ('What library..').

Actually I'm surprised that 'man pow' doesn't say something intelligent
like "Don't forget that this function is contained in library X" or
something like that. The last time I did substantial C development, I
believe c0_std.lib (or whatever it was called) contained the entire
run-time library.

Going in the other direction, how would you list the functions stored in a
library?
