Re: problem in linking the lib

[Slaven Peles <peles at cns dot physics dot gatech dot edu>]

To make things even simpler, you don't have to specify your library path, 
since compiler will look in /usr/lib anyway. In your case it is enough to 
write
gcc tst.c -lgsl
or depending on what do you want to compile you might have to use
gcc tst.c -lgsl -lgslcblas -lm
