Re: pgxs question - linking c-functions to external libraries

Tom

Thanks for the reply. My GSL libraries, 'libgsl' and 'libgslcblas', are in the
/usr/lib directory as GSL and the GSL development files were installed via
Fedora 8 RPM's. I'm a relative newbie to programming, so I thought the -L
switch is only required to add a non-standard library location to the
directories searched for libraries.

I will give it a go.

Thanks

John
