[Help-gsl] multidimensional minimization

Hello,

i have a problem using the set of functions for multidimensional
minimization !

I need to find the minimum of a set of vectors, so i use a code like
that found in the documentation:

.
.
.
T = gsl_multimin_fdfminimizer_conjugate_fr;
s = gsl_multimin_fdfminimizer_alloc (T, 2);

for (i = 0; i < num_of_vect; ++i) {

  gsl_multimin_fdfminimizer_set (s, &my_func, x+i, 0.01, 1e-4);

  do
    {
      iter++;
      status = gsl_multimin_fdfminimizer_iterate (s);

      if (status)
        break;

      status = gsl_multimin_test_gradient (s->gradient, 1e-3);

      if (status == GSL_SUCCESS)
        printf ("Minimum found at:\n");

      printf ("%5d %.5f %.5f %10.5f\n", iter,
              gsl_vector_get (s->x, 0), 
              gsl_vector_get (s->x, 1), 
              s->f);

    }
  while (status == GSL_CONTINUE && iter < 100);

  //something goes here

}
.
.
.

The only way i've found to restart the minimization of the next
vector is to set s->f to the energies of the new vector. Any
other solution don't works ! Every time, the
gsl_multimin_fdfminimizer_iterate (s) return status = 27
with the other solutions.!
I don't think this is the right way, but it is the only
i've found. Can anyone help me ???
