[Help-gsl] Segfault with single dimensional root finder

[JJ Harrison]

I have the following four lines for the initialisation of a root finder:

   

   const gsl_root_fsolver_type *T;

   gsl_root_fsolver *s;

   T = gsl_root_fsolver_brent;

   s = gsl_root_fsolver_alloc(T);

   

The program segfaults right after gsl_root_fsolver_alloc() is called. What
would cause this?

Thanks
