Re: [Bug-gsl] bug in cblas on aix

[Kyle L. Jensen]

Hi Brian,

Yeah, I should have included that, sorry.  However, it still bails.
Also, it bails with the ATLAS BLAS libraries "-lgsl -lcblas -latlas -lm"

What's funny is that, I finally got it to work right after submitting
the bug report.  But, I had to use gcc+gnu ld to compile gsl.  Wild.

Gnu ld doesn't always make good shared libraries on aix (and it warns
you as such when it runs!), so gcc normally just uses aix's ld.  On a
whim I had it use gnu ld and the seg fault that I described went away.

I have not tried xlc with gnu ld.

Whatever the problem is --- it probably has to do with the linker on 
and aix and how it's processing the cblas/*dot.c files...I was able
to make code that used these routines seg fault every time.  Wierd!

Thanks for following up so fast Brian.  All the best,

Kyle
