I installed it by RPM and it appears to me to be in the right place:

address@hidden pspp-0.4.0]$ ls -l /usr/lib/libgsl*
-rwxr-xr-x  1 root root     732 Mar  7  2005 /usr/lib/libgslcblas.la*
lrwxrwxrwx  1 root root      29 Apr 23 12:21 /usr/lib/libgslcblas.so -> 
/usr/lib/libgslcblas.so.0.0.0*
lrwxrwxrwx  1 root root      20 Apr 23 00:21 /usr/lib/libgslcblas.so.0 
-> libgslcblas.so.0.0.0*
-rwxr-xr-x  1 root root  181832 Mar  7  2005 /usr/lib/libgslcblas.so.0.0.0*
lrwxrwxrwx  1 root root      29 Apr 23 12:25 /usr/lib/libgslcblas.so.1

-rwxr-xr-x  1 root root     697 Mar  7  2005 /usr/lib/libgsl.la*

libgsl.so.0.7.0*
-rwxr-xr-x  1 root root 1477648 Mar  7  2005 /usr/lib/libgsl.so.0.7.0*

I added the libgslcblas.so and libgslcblas.so.1 links because I've used 
similar tricks to make other things work but they had no effect here.

I looked at the line that was failing ("gcc -o conftest -g -O2   
conftest.c -lgslcblas  -lm  >&5") and I cannot find a file called 
'conftest.c' to try to replciate this behavior on the command line.  
Does configure copy it from somewhere?

address@hidden pspp-0.4.0]$ find /home/amead/pspp-0.4.0/ -iname conftest.c
address@hidden pspp-0.4.0]$
