[Bug-gsl] gsl-1.4: error in gsl_const.h

[zunda]

Hi,

I belive I have found a bug in one of the header files as follows.

Could you please also check if it is intentional that vacuum constans
defined in MKSA system is not found in CGSM system:

$ grep VACUUM /usr/include/gsl/gsl_const_mksa.h 
#define GSL_CONST_MKSA_VACUUM_PERMITTIVITY (8.854187817e-12) /* A^2 s^4 / kg 
m^3 */
#define GSL_CONST_MKSA_VACUUM_PERMEABILITY (1.25663706144e-6) /* kg m / A^2 s^2 
*/

$ grep VACUUM /usr/include/gsl/gsl_const_cgsm.h
$

Thank you very much,
zunda <zunda616e at yahoo.co.jp>

$ gsl-config --version
1.4

* The hardware and operating system
$ uname -s -r -m 
Linux 2.4.22-0.2.9m i686

$ cat /proc/cpuinfo  | grep 'model name'

* A description of the bug behavior
/usr/include/gsl/gsl_const.h includes headers which are no longer in the
library.

* A short program which exercises the bug
$ echo '#include <gsl/gsl_const.h>' >| test.c; gcc -c test.c

I have applied the following patch to fix this:
