Libgsl 27 on Tumbleweed not linked against libgslcblas?

L.S.,

I am experimenting with the new Foreign Function and Memory API in Java 21/22. As a test case I am trying to reimplement one of the GLS examples (finding the roots of an order-5 polynomial). The example compiles and runs just fine in pure C (using-lgsl -lgslcblas -lm flags), but when I try to run it with my Java code, I get the following:

Exception in thread "main" java.lang.UnsatisfiedLinkError: /usr/lib64/libgsl.so.27.0.0: /usr/lib64/libgsl.so.27.0.0: undefined symbol: cblas_ctrmv

Which indicates that it cannot properly link when loading libgsl.

I am explicitly loading the libraries in this order:

System.loadLibrary("m"); 
System.loadLibrary("gslcblas"); 
System.loadLibrary("gsl");

And using nm I can find the “missing” symbol in libgslcblas.so. But when I run ldd against libgsl.so (as advised by the all-knowing Google) I get this:

# ldd libgsl.so
        linux-vdso.so.1 (0x00007ffc51eea000)
        libm.so.6 => /lib64/libm.so.6 (0x00007f8b27746000)
        libc.so.6 => /lib64/libc.so.6 (0x00007f8b27000000)
        /lib64/ld-linux-x86-64.so.2 (0x00007f8b27849000)

Now, I can´t claim to be a C hero by any means. But the Google soothsayer tells me there have been problems in the past on different distro’s (including OpenSuSE) with libgsl not being linked against libgslcblas when it was compiled. Could that be the case here? And if so, any ideas on a workaround?

Thanks in advance,

Ben.

Additional info:

I was able to try it on an Ubuntu and there my test program works perfectly.

Comparing the linking of libgsl.so:

$ ldd /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libgsl.so
        linux-vdso.so.1 (0x00007fff27a68000)
        libgslcblas.so.0 => /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libgslcblas.so.0 (0x00007f188dfd7000)
        libm.so.6 => /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libm.so.6 (0x00007f188def0000)
        libc.so.6 => /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libc.so.6 (0x00007f188dcc8000)
        /lib64/ld-linux-x86-64.so.2 (0x00007f188e2e0000)

So to me it looks like the factory builds for Tumbleweed aren´t linking libgsl.so properly.

Anyone know how I can get a properly linked version?

Thanks!

Never mind. I tried compiling from source and the result is the same.
