 Well you can just do that once, right? (I mean, write down a general
transformation rule from your form to theat understandable by gsl)


it's not that I really need. I need to make a solver wich will solve

 Yeah, so you create a subroutine for g(x), & a subroutine that integrates
the ODE. This suboutine will accept the order, the array of coefficients and
then applies your transformation rule and make it gsl-understandable  func()
jac() funcions (you'll have to write those), then initialize the ODE system
& evolve_apply.

 I do something similar when I solve Schroedinger's equation with complex
variables instead of real #s in N-space representation or using FEM .
