Ask not what your Octave can do for you... A GSL build dependency for
Octave might be acceptable.

Anyways, the Debian package for the GSL 'Forge package is using GSL
1.14 and works fine.

If you need hints why, perhaps Debian's build script could be illuminating:

     
http://git.debian.org/?p=pkg-octave/octave-gsl.git;a=blob;f=debian/rules;h=cc1bd1b064e0483e3a3d3c966cf05ab3c7a0ff41;hb=359fd4552fc6ffd6a0b3606b93649e91e975553c

You see it just calls the generic octave-pkg Makefile which is here:

     
http://git.debian.org/?p=pkg-octave/octave-pkg-dev.git;a=blob;f=octave-pkg.mk.in;h=d269194a502b611f86cd1b501fa35a1a613a2c4c;hb=c93c63e13b6d75feabd5e11329474f5e06439625

calls Octave's own pkg function with a few modifications. Does "pkg
install" from within Octave fail for you?
