gsl-config takes the information when the lib is being built. That means it is only correct with the corresponding lib. If a user have multiple installations of gsl and changes gsl-config to, for example, gsl-config-1.3 and gsl-config-1.4 and want to use 1.4, he or she needs sym link gsl-config to gsl-config-1.4. Locate is only usable when it has the database. If not, one would get this: 'default database: `/var/db/locate.database' or $LOCATE_PATH'.
