[R] gsl lib version detected wrong during install

[garunkel]

Hello everyone,

I've tried to install the R gsl package but without success because R claims
there needs to be a gsl library version >= 1.12 installed on the system.
Actually gsl library version 1.12 is installed locally in my home directory
and I set PATH and LD_LIBRARY_PATH in .bash_profile to point to
corresponding bin and lib directory. gsl-config is accessible from
everywhere in the command prompt. R is installed at /usr/bin/R.

Any hints why R cannot detect the gsl-config version properly?

I appreciate your answers.

Thanks in advance,

Georg
