Hi,
I downloaded gsl-1.16.tar.gz from the gnu website,on Sep 28, two days ago. I tried to instal it this morning. The compilation run smoothly, no apparent errors, echo $? returned zero. make check failed, that it the last test failed (poly, please see below). This failure is not important for me, I will go ahead and use the library. Thank you for the good work!!!
