[Help-gsl] Overflow problem with Laguerre polynomials

[Jens Koch]

Hello,

 

I have installed GSL on a windows machine and it seemed to be running fine,
except for the following issue which I don't know how to fix:

I'm using the following code to calculate Laguerre polynomial values -

 

#include <iostream>

#include <gsl\gsl_sf_laguerre.h>

 

using namespace std;

 

int main()

{

   gsl_sf_result result;

   int status = gsl_sf_laguerre(2, 1.0, 16.0, &result);

   cout << result.val;

 

   system("PAUSE");

   return 0;

}

 

The program compiles correctly, but the program terminates with the
following runtime error:

gsl: laguerre.c:96: ERROR: overflow

 

Thanks for any piece of advice.

Best regards,

jens
