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.

When I try to install gsl in R I get the error Need GSL version >=

which is picked up earlier in the configure process (see below). Is
it possible for someone to fix this error in the configure script?

As Berend said, this should be talked about with the maintainer. It
would be helpful if you could show more detail of the test that failed.

For example, what does

/lrz/sys/libraries/gsl/2.3/bin/gsl-config --version --cflags

print?  For me, the second line from gsl-config is

-I/usr/local/Cellar/gsl/1.16/include

and I can see using

less /usr/local/Cellar/gsl/1.16/include/gsl/gsl_version.h

that the macros are defined as

#define GSL_VERSION "1.16"
#define GSL_MAJOR_VERSION 1
#define GSL_MINOR_VERSION 16

Presumably you'll get something else...
