I get:

I don't know what the '-uc' is supposed to do, but it apparently gets 
interpreted as a filename (which doesn't exist, of course).

The 3 files (block.o, file.o and init.o) are to be found in the 
gsl-1.14/.libs/libgsl.lax/libgslblock.a/ folder, as is supposed to happen I 
believe. (They were there at the time the 'make' process errored out.)

I've just had a quick look at 'man sort' on my linux box. I can't 
successfully apply any of the switches there to the sort command in the msys 
shell. They all seem to produce "The system cannot find the file specified" 
error, even if I use the longhand form (ie --unique instead of -u).

Cheers,
Rob
