GSL: symbol lookup error: undefined symbol: cblas_dnrm2

[Martin Konôpka]

ubuntu release: 12.10 server, 64-bit, all upgrades applied.
compiler: 4.7.2

affected package: libgsl0ldbl
(and perhaps also other related GSL packages and files)

package version: 1.15+dfsg-1build2

I create a C code which is using few functions from the GNU Scientific Library. I compile and link. I want to execute the executable.

Unfortunatelly, the binary can not be executed because of an internal problem in the library.

See my code in the attachment.

I compile and link using the command

gcc -Wall eigsys_symm.c -lm -lgsl -lgslcblas

and then try to execute. You see what is the error message:

$ a.out
a.out: symbol lookup error: /usr/lib/libgsl.so.0: undefined symbol: cblas_dnrm2

I observe that there is no such an issue on my LinuxMint 13 (Maya) desktop 64-bit (which for the present purpose we can consider as ubuntu 12.04 LTS; it uses gcc 4.6.3 and the GSL package version is 1.15+dfsg-1build1) .
