Hello,
I am trying to install gsl-1.15 on mac OS 10.8.3
I followed the custom configure and install. This included:
$./configure --disable-shared --disable-dependency-tracking
followed by:
$sudo make install
I got the following error message which produced the following, ending in an
error message. :

I also ran "make check 2>&1" and got a similar message.
I am not sure how best to proceed with this. I have previously managed to
successfully install in Mac OS10.5.
Should I maybe use an earlier version? I cannot remember which version of gsl I
managed to install last time.
Thank you in advance for any help that you can provide,
Hi,
The problem is that 'gsl/Makefile.am' defines some targets ('all' and
'clean') that normally is created by Automake and thereby mess up the
dependencies crafted by Automake, so there is no dependency that clean
and install should depend on all.
The solution is to use *-local targets as documented by Automake. Please
find a patch attached.
Cheers,
Peter
