<p>To run a program linked with the shared version of the library the
operating system must be able to locate the corresponding <samp>.so</samp>
file at runtime. If the library cannot be found, the following error
will occur:
</p>
<div class="example">
<pre class="example">$ ./a.out
./a.out: error while loading shared libraries:
libgsl.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such
file or directory
</pre></div>
<p>To avoid this error, either modify the system dynamic linker
configuration<a name="DOCF5" href="#FOOT5"><sup>5</sup></a> or
define the shell variable <code>LD_LIBRARY_PATH</code> to include the
directory where the library is installed.
</p>
<p>For example, in the Bourne shell (<code>/bin/sh</code> or <code>/bin/bash</code>),
the library search path can be set with the following commands:
</p>
<div class="example">
<pre class="example">$ LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/local/lib
$ export LD_LIBRARY_PATH
$ ./example
</pre></div>
<p>In the C-shell (<code>/bin/csh</code> or <code>/bin/tcsh</code>) the equivalent
command is,
</p>
<div class="example">
<pre class="example">% setenv LD_LIBRARY_PATH /usr/local/lib
</pre></div>
<p>The standard prompt for the C-shell in the example above is the percent
character ‘<samp>%</samp>’, and should not be typed as part of the command.
</p>
<p>To save retyping these commands each session they can be placed in an
individual or system-wide login file.
</p>
<p>To compile a statically linked version of the program, use the
<code>-static</code> flag in <code>gcc</code>,
</p>
<div class="example">
<pre class="example">$ gcc -static example.o -lgsl -lgslcblas -lm
</pre></div>
