Solution 1

In the linker options, you have to specify the libraries you need.
If you are you using Turbo C++, then have a look at this forum post[^] (a similar problem with the graphics library).

Solution 2

Hi,

The link error usually occur when a particular library is not added to your project,and the compiler is trying to use a functionality which is defined in that library. In your case may be "Maths.lib" is missing from your project. If it already included make sure the path is correct.

Thanks

But I have not use any maths related function in the program.
So can it be a case that the maths.lib file is corrupted or not present.

do u included that library to your project?

hi,
it does not matter if you are trying to do some calculations in your code or not,
just #include<maths.h> can give the error because of the reason you also suspect i.e. either the file is corrupt or not present in the location which is given to the linker.try to comment that #include and see if it runs or not.

I am not understanding what exactly shall I write in #include statement

CurrentlyBE 24-Dec-11 0:08am

Should I post that program it is same as of my earlier question.

Its better to post you code here.If you are not using any functions of that library, There is no need of including in the linker options.
