cannot find -lm
cannot find -lc

I searched and found it has something

Answer 1

the compiler cannot find static glibc, you might have installed only shared libraries
try

yum install glibc-static

Answer 2

ld is the GNU linker.

man ld ld combines a number of object and archive files, relocates their data and ties up symbol references. Usually the last step in compiling a program is to run ld.

It is uses to link your program with the C library and the C math library. You need to make sure that libc6-dev is installed:

foo@bar: $ dpkg -s libc6-dev

Or more generic, ensure build-essential, which depends on a handful of essential C packages.

foo@bar: $ dpkg -s build-essential

Answer 3

make sure that your libpath (in g++) points to the directory(ies) that libm.a and libc.a are located in (use the -L option)
