Problem

[Przemyslaw Sliwa]

Hi,
I have a small problem:
I compile the program on my PC and send the executable file on the 
server which does not
have GSL. Trying to execute it I get the error:
error while loading shared libraries: libgsl.so.0: cannot open shared 
object file: No such file or directory.

Does anyone know the problem.

Thanx
Przem

You just described the problem: the server does not have GSL installed.

You have two options: 1. install gsl on the server, or 2. build your
application using the static gsl libraries.  The recipe for the
second option depends on your compiler; for gcc, link with
"gcc -static ...".

Dear friends

I downloaded the gsl library version 1.0 from the mirror
site in UK. I followed the instructions for building the library.
The build was succesuful, no errors during the make process.
Then I installed the library and when I tried to use it I got
the following error during linking



-- Undefined                       first referenced
 symbol                             in file
__eprintf                           ../../../../lib/libgsl.so
ld: fatal: Symbol referencing errors.

Any suggestions ? The build was done on a Ultra 5 Sun running

solaris.

Thanks

Not sure what's causing that.  A few questions:

-- What is the command line you're using to do the link?
-- Does the static library libgsl.a work instead of libgsl.so?
