[R] Trouble installing gsl wrapper

[Gang Chen]

Hi,

I'm trying to install the gsl wrapper source code
(http://cran.r-project.org/src/contrib/gsl_1.9-8.tar.gz) on a Linux
system (OpenSuse 11.1), but encountering the following problem. I've
already installed 'gsl' version 1.14
(ftp://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/gsl/gsl-1.14.tar.gz) on the system. What's
missing? Thanks a lot...
