Package installation error (gsl)

I am trying to install a package, and I get the below error

g++ -Wno-deprecated -O3 -fPIC  main.cpp ./obj/*o -lgsl -lgslcblas -static -o ./bin/gropop
/usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lgsl
/usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lgslcblas

I have gsl library installed.  Can anyone help please ?.

Arch does not provide static libraries. Either make your program link dynamically or recompile gsl yourself with static libraries enabled.

If you mean link your program dynamically do not specify -static.
