I tested on Mac OS X / 10.3.9 PPC G4.
Everything came out good except the wavelet and spline stuff.

I am attaching the log.

I'll go back and test 1.8 tomorrow.

Also, what references are you looking at for restricting the angles in 
the elliptic integrals?
I am in the middle of implementing special functions for gcc (The C++ 
standards people are adding a list of special functions to the library - 
or rather to an adjunct of the library.)

Finally, how do you get Hermite polynomials out of GSL?

Thank you,
