[Users] Compilation Error in cluster ParamGanga

Hello Shamin,
A missing math.h would point to a faulty compiler installation. Since
you are trying to compile (are you?) ona compute node in a running job,
my guess would be that the cluster admins are not providing compilers
on the compute nodes but only on the login nodes.
This would be something to contact your cluster's help desk about.
Yours,
Roland
