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.

I can't see what would be going wrong.

I can't see what would be going wrong.Two ideas: 1. The include file might be there but not the actual library (or a different version gets picked up via an -L setting) 2. The error message can be spurious and reflect a completely different problem. It looks a little odd that the ERROR does not appear immediately after "checking if GSL version >= 1.12..." (is some sort of parallel make going on, perchance?) If push comes to shove, you may have to learn how to decipher config.log etc. to see exactly which test is failing and why. -pd> > Duncan Murdoch > >> David >> On 09/13/2017 02:57 PM, Duncan Murdoch wrote: >>> On 13/09/2017 5:23 AM, Brayford, David wrote: >>>> When I try to install gsl in R I get the error Need GSL version >>>>> 1.12 .
