Problems installing gsl gem

Answer 1

If you have:

• GSL 1.16 (check with gsl-config --version) (e.g. in Ubuntu 14.04),
• Ruby 2.1

Then try https://github.com/siefca/rb-gsl -- it's tweaked for such configuration.
It should also work with Ruby 1.9 and Ruby 2.0.

If you're using bundler to manage gems in a project then put a line in your Gemfile:

gem 'gsl', :git => 'git://github.com/siefca/rb-gsl'

Cheers!
