New description:
The version of the [http://www.gnu.org/software/gsl/ GNU Scientific
Library (GSL)] in Sage is 1.10, which is almost 3 years old. The latest,
1.14 was released about 4 months ago.
There is also a large number of bugs in the {{{spkg-check}}} and {{{spkg-
install}}} files
* {{{spkg-check}}} did not exit with a non-zero error code if the {{{make
check}}} failed. It did however report the error, but it is highly likely
to be missed in a large log file. This issue was reported at #9531, so
that ticket can be closed when this one is closed.
* {{{spkg-install}}} did not exit if {{{configure}}} failed to configure
properly. Again the error was reported.
* {{{spkg-install}}} did not exit if {{{make}}} failed to build GSL
correctly. Again the error was reported.
* {{{spkg-install}}} did not exit if {{{make install}}} failed to install
GSL properly. Again the error was reported.
* The self-tests were failing on some platforms, due to the fact
{{{/bin/rm: cannot remove `libtoolT}}}. This was also true of the latest
version, but exporting RM to "rm -f" solved that, as suggested at
