Re: [Bug-gsl] gsl_ran_flat: bug or improper usage ?

[Brad Bell]

Thanks Brian,
It was improper usage on my part.
Here is the result of compiling with -Wall:

address@hidden lib]$ ./gsl_ran_flat.sh
> gcc -g -Wall gsl_ran_flat.c -L/usr/lib -lgsl -lgslcblas -lm -o
gsl_ran_flat
gsl_ran_flat.c: In function main:
gsl_ran_flat.c:26: warning: implicit declaration of function gsl_ran_flat
> ./gsl_ran_flat uniform
gamma = 1.000000
> ./gsl_ran_flat flat
gamma = nan

Here is the result when the the statement
        # include <gsl/gsl_randist.h>
is added to the list of includes:

> gcc -g -Wall gsl_ran_flat.c -L/usr/lib -lgsl -lgslcblas -lm -o
gsl_ran_flat
> ./gsl_ran_flat uniform
gamma = 1.000000
> ./gsl_ran_flat flat
gamma = 1.000000
