Introduction to GSL

The GNU Scientific Library (GSL) is a numerical library for C and C++ programmers. The library provides over 1000 functions covering a wide range of mathematical routines such as random number generators, special functions and least-squares fitting.

Non-Multilib

Compile the package:

./configure --prefix=/usr &&
make

Install the package:

make install

Multilib

32Bit

Compile the package:

CC="gcc ${BUILD32}" ./configure --prefix=/usr \
    --libdir=/usr/lib &&
make

Install the package:

make install &&
mv -v /usr/bin/gsl-config{,-32}

N32

Compile the package:

CC="gcc ${BUILDN32}" ./configure --prefix=/usr \
    --libdir=/usr/lib32

Install the package:

make install &&
mv -v /usr/bin/gsl-config{,-n32}

64Bit

Compile the package:

CC="gcc ${BUILD64}" ./configure --prefix=/usr \
    --libdir=/usr/lib64 &&
make

Install the package:

make install &&
mv -v /usr/bin/gsl-config{,-64} &&
ln -sfv /usr/bin/multiarch_wrapper /usr/bin/gsl-config

Documentation

Build and install the info pages for the GSL:

 make install-info

Build and install the html documentation for the GSL:

 make html &&
 install -v -m755 -d /usr/share/doc/GSL-1.8/html &&
 for i in doc/gsl-ref.html/*.html; do
   cp -v $i /usr/share/doc/GSL-1.8/html
 done

Build and install the postscript documentation for the GSL:

 make dvi &&
 install -v -m755 -d /usr/share/doc/GSL-1.8/ps &&
 cp -v doc/gsl-ref.ps /usr/share/doc/GSL-1.8/ps

Install the example programs, if desired:

 install -v -m755 -d /usr/share/doc/GSL-1.8/examples &&
 cp -v doc/examples/* /usr/share/doc/GSL-1.8/examples
