Subject:	ERROR MSG: junk.c(.text+0xfd): undefined reference to 'getche'

(Newbee question: sorry if its been asked a thousand times before...)

When compile the simple bit of code below using this command line:

gcc -lpc -Wall -pedantic junk.c -o junk

... I get this error message:

junk.c(.text+0xfd): undefined reference to 'getche'

As far as I am aware: 'getche' is in the libpc.a library and the -lpc switch
should instruct to linker (via the compiler) to search that library.

Is this a command line error, or is something wrong with my library? I am
fairly sure there is nothing wrong with my C program, but since I am new at
this I guess it is also a real possibility! Any help will be greatly
appreciated.

John
