Sorry, i got confused by previous post from Ben.
 
After checking my Redhat partition,
it' s sqrt which belongs to math.h,
abs is included in stdlib.h ( on redhat ).
 
More generally speaking, when a function is missing,
don't forget the RTFM method, where M stands
for "Man page".
 
cheers,

hi,

I see a lot of anti-redhat messages of that kind on this list,
but, as the man page from redhat says :
 
#include <math.h>
 
int abs( int )
 
So, redhat's not faulty there.
 
#include <myopinion.h>
 
i'm curious of what man page says on debian,
because abs IS a math function.
 
#endif
 
bye,
