It compiles and links fine for me using "gcc t.cpp -lgsl". Are you sure 
you are putting -lgsl in the right place on the command line (ie, at the 
end)? If you are, try compiling with "gcc -v -v t.cpp -lgsl", here is 
that output for me: 

$ gcc t.cpp -v -v -lgsl

It also works fine with g++ for me.
