The README file that accompanies libmoto says that you should use
it by adding ``-lmoto'' *before* the ``-lm''.  The order is
important: the linker loads functions from libraries in the order
that it finds them, and ignores duplicate functions.  

You still need ``-lm'', too: libmoto only specifies a subset of
the functions provided by the math library, and if the linker
doesn't find the functions it needs, it will blow up.

Depending on where you've placed the library, you may also need to
add something like ``-L/usr/local/lib/libmoto'' before the
``-lmoto'' flag.
