[R-SIG-Mac] "gsl" does not seem to find installed GSL

[Kjell Konis]

Hi Marius,

I have had this same problem several times. My workaround is to

1. download the source package 
2. uncompress/unarchive the package
3. delete the 2 configure scripts
4. in src, rename Makevars.in Makevars
5. edit Makevars, replace @GSL_CFLAGS@ with the output of 'gsl-config —cflags’ and replace @GSL_LIBS@ with the output of ‘gsl-config —libs'
6. R CMD INSTALL the gsl directory

Hope that works,
Kjell
