[Help-gsl] Compile C++ with GSL

[Thomas Bisig]

Hi list

I'd like to include the GSL into a single C++ file test.cpp and compile 
it. What do I have to do?

I have a file with the single allocation of a matrix m like

gsl_matrix * m = gsl_matrix_alloc (4, 4);

I compile with (-lgslcblas is dispensable)

gcc test.cpp -lgsl -lm -lgslcblas

but I get an error

ld: Undefined symbols:
___gxx_personality_v0

The documentation says that one should be able to simply include the 
libraries into a C++ file and it should work. Where's the mistake?

Thanks again

thomas

Ps: A not so GSL related question: I don't understand why I have to add 
-lgsl and so on when I want to compile. I include the libraries in the 
file so the compiler should know what to link!? Or do I have to say the 
gcc explicitly that I want to link to GSL and cBLAS?

(Don't think I don't read the mail archives; I'm a little bit a newbie)
