sem_open() error: “undefined reference to sem_open()” on linux (Ubuntu 10.10)
Having issues with compilation of posix semaphores. My goal is to create a shared memory segment and protect it by semaphores. shared memory works fine but semaphores code gives me compilation errors even though I included semaphore.h and added -lrt to compilation flags

this is the makefile:

HEADER = struct.h
OUT = supermarket cashier customer
CC = gcc
FLAGS = -lrt -g -c
LIBS = -lm
# -g option enables debugging mode
# -c flag generates object code for separate files
# -lm math library
all: supermarket cashier customer
supermarket: supermarket.c

$(CC) cashier.c -o cashier
customer: customer.c
$(CC) customer.c -o customer
# clean house
clean:
rm -f $(OBJS) $(OUT)
# do a bit of accounting
count:
wc $(SOURCE) $(HEADER)
I keep getting this error:
george@george-System-Product-Name:~/Desktop/prj3$ make

what can i do? this is a project for operating systems class, my system is linux Ubuntu
