Re: gsl: discrete Hankel transform

[Francis Poulin]

Hello,

Thanks, that was the problem.  I installed gmsh and then the script worked as 
is.  I will try and learn bim and see how much headway I can make with it.

It seems that the fink build is working for the moment but I was curious to try 
and install octave on my own.  When I did the configure I got the following 
error

configure: error: to build Octave, you must have the PCRE library and header 
files installed

I am not sure how much effort it is but if I could do it independent of fink 
and macports it sounds attractive but might be a lot of work.  If you are 
willing to offer advice on how to install it on my mac os X that would be 
welcome.

Francis
