[R-sig-Debian] Installation of R package gsl and its corresponding GSL library
Hi I want to install the R package gsl, which is a wrapper to the library GSL. Installation fails as it seems that I did not install the right GSL library: * Installing *source* package 'gsl' ... checking for gcc... gcc checking for C compiler default output... a.out checking whether the C compiler works... yes checking whether we are cross compiling... no checking for suffix of executables... checking for suffix of object files... o checking whether we are using the GNU C compiler... yes checking whether gcc accepts -g... yes checking for gcc option to accept ANSI C... none needed checking for gsl_sf_airy_Ai_e in -lgsl... no configure: error: Cannot find Gnu Scientific Library. However, I installed both gsl-bin and libgsl0ldbl with apt-get. Do you see which library I should install? Could the package gsl be added to the usefull collection of R packages accessible from the debian repos? by the way, I'm on Ubuntu 8.04 and run R 2.7.1 Thanks!

There are 1500 CRAN packages but only a handful of volunteer maintainers. Dirk -- Three out of two people have difficulties with fractions.
