[Help-gsl] Random generator: linking problem

[Marco Tului]

Hi all,
excuse me, I'm trying to compile a random generator C++ class for my
library, in which I use the GSL. But even tough I compile without errors my
hpp/cpp, when in a test main file I try to instantiate an object of it, I
have these linking errors:

::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::
/usr/bin/ld: Undefined symbols:
_gsl_rng_alloc
_gsl_rng_default
_gsl_rng_free
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
make: *** [default] Error 1
::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::

I have read the GSL manual, and in my Makefile I wrote:

:::::::::::::::::::::::
# RANDOM_NUMBER_GENERATOR
random_generator.o: random_generator.hpp random_generator.cpp
g++ -c random_generator.cpp -lgsl -lgslcblas -lm
::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::

as it seemed me correctly, so, why that? The hpp of my class is:

:::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::
#ifndef RANDOM_GENERATOR__HPP
#define RANDOM_GENERATOR__HPP


#include <gsl/gsl_rng.h> // here we use the "GNU Scientific Library" (GSL)
to obtain a random number
#include <gsl/gsl_randist.h> // to obtain gsl_ran_gaussian()
#include <iostream>
using namespace std;


enum Distribution_type {
  NORMAL = 1,
  UNIFORM = 2,
  BINARY = 3
};


class Random_generator {

  private:
    const gsl_rng_type *_type_gen;
    gsl_rng *_gen; // 'gen' is the (random) generator

    Distribution_type _distr_type;


  public:
    // default CONSTRUCTOR
    Random_generator( ) {
      _type_gen = gsl_rng_default;
      _gen = gsl_rng_alloc(_type_gen); // in this way we allocate, in the
standard way, the generator 'gen'
    };

    // DESTRUCTOR
    ~Random_generator( ) {
        gsl_rng_free(_gen); // we free the memory associated with the
generator 'r'
    };


    double Get_rnd_generator( ) const { // by default we assume
Distribution_type = NORMAL
      return gsl_ran_gaussian(_gen, 1);
    };

    double Get_rnd_generator(Distribution_type distr_type_init) const {
      if(distr_type_init == NORMAL) {
        return gsl_ran_gaussian(_gen, 1);
      }
      else if(distr_type_init == UNIFORM) {
        // vv return sample da distribuzione uniforme...
      }
      else if(distr_type_init == BINARY) {
        // vv return sample da distribuzione binaria...
      }
    };


};


#endif
::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::


The cpp file simply include that hpp. By the way, I've installed and
compiled my GSL (with shared libraries option etc.) on my Mac Os 10.4.11.




Thanks in advance, bye.
