[Help-gsl] installation of gsl

[Andy beet]

Hi all,

I am new to GNU and am finding a lot of the documentation confusing. I 
was wondering if someone could help.

I have a windows machine (xp pro). I have just installed MinGW and now i 
am in the process of getting GSL to work within it.

I installed MinGW in c:\MinGW as expressed in the documentation. I have 
also added c:\MinGW\bin to the environmental variable. I can now compile 
c code. I am now trying to add the GSL as my c code includes functions 
from this library.

I unzipped the latest version of GSL (1.13) into a folder called gsl and 
placed it in c:\MinGW\include. Is this the right place for it?? Now when 
i navigate to c:\MinGW\include\gsl in a dos window and type ./configure 
i get the message " '.' is not recognized as an internal or external 
command, operable program or batch file"

Can anyone let me know what it is i am doing wrong? I am guessing a lot!

thanks in advance

Andy
