Gsl-1.16
Introduction to Gsl
The GNU Scientific Library (GSL) is a numerical library for C and
C++ programmers. It provides a wide range of mathematical routines
such as random number generators, special functions and
least-squares fitting.
This package is known to build and work properly using an LFS-7.7
platform.
Package Information
Installation of Gsl
Install Gsl by running the
following commands:
./configure --prefix=/usr --disable-static &&
make &&
make html
To test the results, issue: make
check.
Now, as the root user:
make install &&
mkdir /usr/share/doc/gsl-1.16 &&
cp doc/gsl-ref.html/* /usr/share/doc/gsl-1.16
Command Explanations
--disable-static: This
switch prevents installation of static versions of the libraries.
