Package: gsl-bin Version: 2.5+dfsg-5 Thanks for maintaining gsl; I use it all the time.
The gsl-randist(1) page suggest the sample command gsl-randist 0 10000 cauchy 30 | gsl-histogram -100 100 200 > histogram.dat which has a typo: gsl-histogram interprets the -100 as an option. It should read gsl-randist 0 10000 cauchy 30 | gsl-histogram -- -100 100 200 > histogram.dat or even gsl-randist 0 100000 cauchy 30 | gsl-histogram -- -100 100 200 | awk '{print $1, $3 ; print $2, $3}' | graph -T X Cheers, --Barak.
