have you just put the name of the include file in? something like....


 #include <math.h>


should work.

BUT you shouoldn't really be doing this stuff as root. Create yourself a user
account  - login as that user and do your programming. As root you can create
chaos on your system. Use root only to do essential system maintenance.
