You are right. Most distributions including gsl. But the versions are not
updated. I see no major distribution which includes gsl 1.7. (SUSE 10.0,
Fedora Core 4 and Mandriva 2006 use gsl-1.6).
Also if you have an older distribution (this is often required for special
hardware or in a laboratory) only old gsl packages are avaiable (RedHat 9 :
gsl-1.1.1).
Fedora includes gsl-1.7 in the development tree. To access it in yum,
enable that repository. For exmple:
$ yum --enablerepo=development list gsl
Available Packages
gsl.i386 1.7-1.2.1
development
Of course, this triggers a few other updates, starting with glibc-2.4.
