I did look at this chapter actually, and I copied the following example:

start quote from gsl-manual:

Here is an example of some code which checks the return value of a 
function where an error might be reported,

int status = gsl_fft_complex_radix2_forward (data, n);

if (status) {
  if (status == GSL_EINVAL) {
     fprintf (stderr, "invalid argument, n=%d\n", n);
  } else {
     fprintf (stderr, "failed, gsl_errno=%d\n", 
                      status);
  }
  exit (-1);
}

end quote.

can you think of some solution to the problem?

thanks for the help,
