It provides a wide range of mathematical routines such as random number generators, special functions and least-squares fitting. &lfs78_checked; Package Information Download (HTTP): Download (FTP): Download MD5 sum: &gsl-md5sum; Download size: &gsl-size; Estimated disk space required: &gsl-buildsize; Estimated build time: &gsl-time; Install Gsl by running the following commands: ./configure --prefix=/usr --disable-static && make && make html To test the results, issue: make check. Now, as the root user: make install && mkdir /usr/share/doc/gsl-&gsl-version; && cp doc/gsl-ref.html/* /usr/share/doc/gsl-&gsl-version; Installed Programs Installed Libraries Installed Directory gsl-config, gsl-histogram, and gsl-randist. libgslcblas.so and libgsl.so. /usr/include/gsl Short Descriptions gsl-config is a shell script to get the version number and compiler flags of the installed Gsl library. gsl-config gsl-histogram is a demonstration program for the GNU Scientific Library that computes a histogram from data taken from stdin. gsl-histogram gsl-randist is a demonstration program for the GNU Scientific Library that generates random samples from various distributions. gsl-randist libgslcblas.so contains functions that implement a C interface to Basic Linear Algebra Subprograms. libgslcblas.so libgsl.so.so contains functions that provide a collection of numerical routines for scientific computing. libgsl.so
