[Help-gsl] Problem with gsl_root_fdfsolver_newton (corrected)

[Clemens Prestele]

Dear Ladies and Gentlemen.

I would be very grateful if you could help me overcome the followingproblem 
that I have encountered on the
usage of gsl_root_fdfsolver_newton.

First of all: I am using GSL-1.6. under Windows XP plus Microsoft VisualStudio. 
Net 2003 (Version 7.1.3088). 

I have essentially copied the example from the gsl-ref.pdf documentregarding 
the gsl_root_fdfsolver_newton 
routine, namely I have the following code:

in "main.c" lies: 

#include <stdio.h>
#include <gsl/gsl_errno.h>
#include <gsl/gsl_math.h>
#include <gsl/gsl_roots.h>
#include "demo_fn.h"

int main(void)
{
        int status;
        int iter = 0, max_iter = 100;
        const gsl_root_fdfsolver_type *T;
        gsl_root_fdfsolver *s;
        double x0, x = 5.0, r_expected = sqrt(5.0);
        gsl_function_fdf FDF;
        struct quadratic_params params = {1.0, 0.0,-5.0};
        FDF.f =&quadratic;
        FDF.df =&quadratic_deriv;
        FDF.fdf =&quadratic_fdf;
        FDF.params= &params;
        T =gsl_root_fdfsolver_newton;
        s =gsl_root_fdfsolver_alloc (T);
        gsl_root_fdfsolver_set (s, &FDF, x);
        printf("using %s method\n",
        gsl_root_fdfsolver_name (s));
        printf("%-5s %10s %10s %10s\n",
        "iter", "root", "err","err(est)");
        do
        {
                iter++;
                status =gsl_root_fdfsolver_iterate (s);
                x0 = x;
                x =gsl_root_fdfsolver_root (s);
                status =gsl_root_test_delta (x, x0, 0, 1e-3);
                if (status == GSL_SUCCESS) printf("Converged:\n");
                printf ("%5d%10.7f %+10.7f %10.7f\n",
                iter, x, x -r_expected, x - x0);
        }
        while (status == GSL_CONTINUE &&iter < max_iter);
        return status;
}

and in "demo_fn.h" lies:

struct quadratic_params
{
        double a, b, c;
};

double quadratic(double x, void*params)
{
        struct quadratic_params *p
        =(struct quadratic_params *) params;
        double a = p->a;
        double b = p->b;
        double c = p->c;
        return (a * x + b) * x + c;
}

double quadratic_deriv(double x, void*params)
{
        struct quadratic_params *p
        =(struct quadratic_params *) params;
        double a = p->a;
        double b = p->b;
        double c = p->c;
        return 2.0 * a * x + b;
}

void quadratic_fdf(double x, void*params,double *y,double *dy)
{
        struct quadratic_params *p
        =(struct quadratic_params *) params;
        double a = p->a;
        double b = p->b;
        double c = p->c;
        *y = (a *x + b) * x + c;
        *dy = 2.0* a * x + b;
}

When I compile the above I obtain the following error messages:

---------------------- Done ----------------------

    Build: 0 succeeded, 1 failed, 0 skipped

Following the suggestions made on
 
        http://sources.redhat.com/ml/gsl-discuss/2004-q2/msg00000.html

I have added 




        "libgslcblas.a libgsl.a"
under 




        Configuration Properties->Linker->Input->AdditionalDependencies
Could it have anything to do with these additionally setproperties? Or do you 
have any other idea what the problem might be andwhat I could change in order 
to make the program work?

Thank you very much already in advance!

Clemens
