Hi,

I have been using GSL with VC++.
I haven't been facing any problem with my configuration of VC++ until I tried
to use the root finder.
When I try to compile the GSL exemple (using the Brent Root finder), I receive
the error message :

libgsl.a(roots_brent.o) : error LNK2019: unresolved external symbol _finite
referenced in function _brent_init

Does anybody have an idea of what I should do ?
Many thanks.


Here is the exemple I am tring to compile : 


     

struct quadratic_params
       {
         double a, b, c;
       };
     
     double quadratic (double x, void *params);
     double quadratic_deriv (double x, void *params);
     void quadratic_fdf (double x, void *params, 
                         double *y, double *dy);
     

We place the function definitions in a separate file (demo_fn.c),

     

double
     quadratic (double x, void *params)
     {
       struct quadratic_params *p 
         = (struct quadratic_params *) params;
     
       double a = p->a;
       double b = p->b;
       double c = p->c;
     
       return (a * x + b) * x + c;
     }
     
     double
     quadratic_deriv (double x, void *params)
     {
       struct quadratic_params *p 
         = (struct quadratic_params *) params;
     
       double a = p->a;
       double b = p->b;
       double c = p->c;
     
       return 2.0 * a * x + b;
     }
     
     void
     quadratic_fdf (double x, void *params, 
                    double *y, double *dy)
     {
       struct quadratic_params *p 
         = (struct quadratic_params *) params;
     
       double a = p->a;
       double b = p->b;
       double c = p->c;
     
       *y = (a * x + b) * x + c;
       *dy = 2.0 * a * x + b;
     }
     

The first program uses the function solver gsl_root_fsolver_brent for Brent's
method and the general quadratic defined above to solve the following equation,

with solution x = \sqrt 5 = 2.236068...

           if (status == GSL_SUCCESS)

                   iter, x_lo, x_hi,
                   r, r - r_expected,
