I'm not fully sure I understand still. So, what I've done is go to the GSL
website, downloaded gsl-1.16.tar.gz, and in Octave typed:
>>pkg install gsl-1.16.tar.gz
this has given me the error message:
>>package is missing file: DESCRIPTION
error: called from 'verify_directory' in file

Carne seemed to be saying that gsl-1.16.tar.gz is not the actual package for
GSL. I'm really not terribly great with computers and and relatively new to
Octave, so it will help me quite a bit if we could try to keep the technical
terms at a minimum if possible. :)
