[Help-gsl] Linking error

[Eggenschwiler Florent]

Hello,
I am working at EPFL on a project where I have to use a fitting routine 
allowing a nonlinear least squares fit to be done. By using the GSL library, I 
succeed in fitting my data by using a code similar to the one provided in: 
http://www.gnu.org/software/gsl/manual/html_node/Example-programs-for-Nonlinear-Least_002dSquares-Fitting.html,
 apart from the fact that my fitted function was of the sinus cubic shape 
instead of exponential. I did the compilation by using Visual Studio 6 (on a 
Windows system) and I also added the files libgsl.a and libgslcblas.a to the 
project settings. The next step was to use this fitting tool provided by the 
GSL in a biomedical computer where the code is cross compiled which means that 
it should be compiled for Windows and for Linux. I thus tried to change the 
extension of the .a files to .so files since the Linux system needs .so files, 
but a problem happend when linking:

ERROR: Z:/n4_deli_vb15/vista_xlinux/delivery/lib/libgsl.so: could not read 
symbols: Bad value

I think that this error is due to the fact that I modified the .a files into 
.so files, but I searched the files libgsl.so and libgslcblas.so without 
success. Does someone have any idea where I could find at least a 
libgslcblas.so file allowing this error to be cancelled? Or does someone have 
any other suggestion to solve this problem?

Thanks a lot in advance.
