Yes, that'd appear to be a clue that something's not right with libm.

The place where sin() is used has an alternative when sin() isn't found. I'll
add a check for pow() to configure.in shortly.

libm is usually the place where the functions in math.h are implemented.

That looks right. Are they in the proper place, i.e. /lib? I wonder if ldconfig
needs to be run. Try doing "nm /lib/libm.so.6" to see if sin() and pow() are in
it?

>(RedHat 7.3), but seems that the "sim" symbol is not there.

Speaking of RH7.3 ... that's also what I'm using. Can you give me some simple
instructions regarding what to do in order to get Gnopernicus running on here?  
Everything seems to be depending on a release of Gnome which is too old.
