If you have problems compiling some programs on 14.0
 
If you have problems compiling programs of slackware 14.0, especially if the errors have to do with 'libdl' or 'libm', I recommend adding this to '~/.bashrc':

Code:
export LIBS="-lm -ldl"
That should fix it.

So, nobody has had a problem ? The problem was with ROX-Filer and Geany (I think). Either way after that I added the export LIBS and I cannot say for sure how many more packages are affected. I suppose it is mostly the software maintainer's fault for not adding these to the linker flags.

i think it's GCC's fault :)

The only issue I have had is 'gtk/gnome type software. I was playing around wondering what a specific package did and was not concerned if it compiled or not. All apps I care about compiled fine so far :)

I tend to agree with that, if you needed advance math functions you needed to specify -lm, for example: "man sqrt".

I've had several issues already. Good tip and will definitely add that to my .bashrc file.
