Hi!

I have the following problem: I want to link an extern library like for example -lm to cython.

If I now write for example the following problem:

%cython
#clib: m

cdef extern from "math.h":
    double sin(double)

def f(x):
    return sin(x)

I get the following errors:

Traceback (most recent call last):
`File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
 File "_sage_input_8.py", line 10, in <module>

/usr/bin/ld: cannot find -l:
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
error: command 'gcc' failed with exit status 1`

So now my questions: Why does this fail? Am I able to link labraries anyhow? Can I link external libraries into sage that are installed on my system but not in sage like fftw? Or have I to install them somehow into sage before using it?

Thanx in Advance! Maldun

You just need to have

#clib m

instead of

#clib: m

Then, everything should work.

Thanx that worked! Is then the last code line in this tutorial ( http://docs.cython.org/src/tutorial/external.html ) false, outdated or does sage handle this different?
