Trouble with Installing R Package gsl

Dear R users:

I have a problem when installing the R package *gsl*. The procedure is as
follows:

(1) Since it needs a GSL vesion >=1.12, and the GSL library on the serve I
use is too old, I download GSL 1.15 and install it in my own account, such
as $HOME/local/gsl.  Because I do not have root access, so it cannot be
installed in standard folder.

(2) Then I download the source code of R pakage gsl, since I cannot use the
command *export*, the solution in the package manual *PAGE 29-30* does not
work for me. I use command as follows to install the package:

R CMD INSTALL
--configure-args="LDFLAGS=-L/data1/zhucai/local/gsl/lib;PKG_LIBS=-L/data1/zhucai/local/gsl/lib;PKG_CPPFLAGS=-I/data1/zhucai/local/gsl/include"
'gsl_1.9-9.tar.gz'

Then I can bypass the version check and  compile the package, however, the
error message is as follows

** package ?gsl? successfully unpacked and MD5 sums checked

I know it may be because LB_LIBRARY_PATH, but I cannot contract with
administer easily and no right to modify it, so how can I do about it? BTW,
the R I used is also installed locally in my own account, which is 2.15.1.
Any help is appreciated. Thank you very much.
