Hello,

   I am one of the pygsl authors. If there is interest, I am sure that
one can get this module up and running.
As I see the module fails in the last module. Apparently the function
is not defined in the header files;
this particular function is not listed in the reference doc.

I upload a tar file on http://pygsl.sourceforge.net/pygsl_sf_testing.tar.gz
So if you want participate in identifiying the error
please:

1. extract pygsl-0.9.5.tar.gz
2. change into this directory pygsl-0.9.5
3. extract the tar achieve pygsl_sf_testing.tar.gz

The 3d step will replace the files without the offending error.
Please send the ouput so that I can see what is going wrong ...

Sincerely yours
  Pierre
