Re: gsl libraries

[Slaven Peles <peles at cns dot physics dot gatech dot edu>]

The way I did it was to download gsl_1.3.orig.tar.gz and gsl_1.3-1.diff.gz 
from Debian web site. Put these two in the same directory and unpack 'orig' 
sources. Then do following:
cd gsl-1.3
zcat ../gsl_1.3-1.diff.gz | patch -p1
chmod +x debian/rules
dpkg-buildpackage -uc -us -rfakeroot -b
After that you should have gsl deb packages in the parent directory. Make sure 
you remove all gsl stuff you installed manually. 

Cheers,
Slaven
