Bug#806646: gsl: cannot compile libgsl from source
Source: gsl Version: 2.1+dfsg Severity: normal Dear Maintainer, I cannot compile libgsl from source, because configure script gives folowing error: config.status: error: cannot find input file: `doc/examples/Makefile.in' to compile from source I use folowing commands (this how I compiled version 1.16): 1. apt-get source gsl-bin gsl-doc 2. cp -rv gsl-doc-1.16 gsl-2.1+dfsg/doc/ 3. cd gsl-2.1+dfsg 4. ./configure 5. cd doc 6. ./configure 7. cd .. 8. make 9. sudo make install it fails at point 4 Is it correct to compile gsl-2.1 with gsl-doc-1.16?

Indeed. _The packages I upload do build as uploaded_ or else we would not have binaries for the eleven other architectures seen e.g. at the bottom of this page: https://packages.debian.org/sid/gsl-bin No bug here.
