Apologies if you have received this message twice.
I've discovered that the Slink pdflatex doesn't do everything I'd like it
to do, so I'm trying to force LaTeX proper to incorporate Computer Modern
Type 1 fonts into its PostScript files for conversion to PDF later.
I have all the Blue Sky fonts,

But through Microsoft's efforts. Consider the fate of a video card maker
whose card does not work with Microsofts "generic" driver.

If you don't need them to be CMR fonts (which I don't think Acrobat can
display well), try '\usepackage{times}'. That'll give you Postscript 1

Helvetica, Courier [New?], and Zapf Dingbats will render well on the

You need to use -lm (link libm, the math library).
I am trying to port some C code from Windows (i.e. no
makefile) and I am using gcc for the first time.
One of the files has some sin() and cos() calls
in it. And yes it includes math.h. If I do a:

I get some error messages about not finding sin and cos.

I dont know what exactly is installed when(if) your using a debian binary
kernel but if your compiling from source make sure you enable the Parellel
printer support option in character devices when your making the kernel.
I also suggest you cat a file directly to the port and see what
