Re: [Help-gsl] GSL-1.15 installation issue on OSX 10.7.3

[Sam Mason]

Hi,

If you just want a copy of GSL installed and don't mind about it being
too up to date, you could try MacPorts.  Initial install from here:

  http://www.macports.org/

and then type

  sudo port install gsl-devel

I can't help with building it from source, sorry!  I'd be tempted to
suggest that it's your C compiler's optimiser breaking something, but
that's very wild speculation.
