you should just write:
gsl_rng_set( r, s );
When you see a line like:
int function_name( some_type var_name, other_type * var_name2 );
This is a prototype, which tells the compiler the types of arguments your
function takes and what type it returns.
When you call the function (run it), you should already have a variable of the
correct type, and so you just write it's name.
On a separate note, be aware that you line:
for (s=1; s < 500; s++){...}
will repeat whatever's in the braces 499 times. To do it 500 times, you need:
for (s=0; s < 500; s++){...}
or if you are confused by counting from zero (who wouldn't be?) then you can
use:
for (s=1; s <= 500; s++){...}
These two changes won't make your program work on their own, but I'd hate to
do all of your assignment for you ;-)
