Library problems on Mac

Library problems on Mac

[Mark Brady]

Hi,

I recently installed GSL on my OSX Mac.  The make seemed to run without
error.  According to your documentation, at least 2 libraries are to be
created: libgsl.a and libgslcblas.a.  However, libgsl.a is not created.  A
libgslcblas.la file is created but cc does not seem to recognize it as a
linkable library.

What's wrong?

I highly recommend to use Fink in order to install GSL (and a lot of 
other Open Source software) on MacOS X. It takes care automatically of 
building shared libraries and it makes your life a lot easier managing, 
installing and updating a tons of software.

For more information look at:

Cheers,
Andrea.

Mark:

I think you can fix this by configure --disable-shared
