error while loading shared libraries: libgsl.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

Question

I use gsl. After I compiled my .cpp file and run it, I faced with below error:

error while loading shared libraries: libgsl.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such

Answer 1

In my experience, fastStructure depends on gsl 1.6 but not the latest version.

wget http://gnu.mirror.vexxhost.com/gsl/gsl-1.6.tar.gz
tar -zxvf gsl-1.6.tar.gz
cd gsl-1.16
./configure
make
sudo make install

Add these lines to your .bashrc file on your home directory.

export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$LD_LIBRARY_PATH:/usr/local/lib
export CFLAGS="-I/usr/local/include"
export LDFLAGS="-L/usr/local/lib"

then, run source ~/.bashrc to set these environment variables.

It works fine when I change the version from the latest to the 1.6.
