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.
Sure is. 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

When I try to install gsl in R I get the error Need GSL version >= 1.12 . However, I have version 2.3 of gsl installed on the system, which is picked up earlier in the configure process (see below).

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...
