[Help-gsl] Can I create a symmtric matrix?

[Shixin Zeng]

hi,
  I'm writing a FEM(Finite Elements Mothed) program using gsl to do 
matrix/vector operations.
  For the matrix is very big and symmetric, so I'm wondering if there 
is a way to create a symmetric matrix? I've read the manual, but I can't 
find any functions to do so.

  BTW: please cc your reply to me, I don't subscribe the list.

Thanks
