Re: compiling GSL 0.7 problem


Thanks for the bug reports. It looks like those header files were
broken in the 0.7 version (gsl_const_cgs.h, gsl_const_mks.h,
gsl_const_num.h).

I have checked in new versions of these files which you can get from
cvs or from

  http://sources.redhat.com/cgi-bin/cvsweb.cgi/gsl/const/?cvsroot=gsl

The 'ln -s' problem that was broken in 0.6 should now be fixed in 0.7
-- we  use the autoconf macro AC_PROG_LN_S to check whether 'ln -s'
works or not.

best regards
Brian Gough
