Hi Duncan,

The output of gsl-config --version
2.3

The output of gsl-config --cflags
-I/lrz/sys/libraries/gsl/2.3/include

The output of gsl-config --libs
-L/lrz/sys/libraries/gsl/2.3/lib -lgsl -lgslcblas -lm

gsl_version.h cat output
#define GSL_VERSION "2.3"
#define GSL_MAJOR_VERSION 2
#define GSL_MINOR_VERSION 3

It's puzzling.

David
