Re: [Help-gsl] Installation

[Mohammad Akhlaghi]

Hi Sushmita,

GSL's installation follows the GNU Build System (which is the most common build 
system in the free software world). 

In short, you have to run these commands (replace X.X with the version number):

tar xf gsl-X.X.tar.gz 
cd gsl-X.X 
./configure 
make -j8 
make check 
sudo make install 

If the last one complains about not being able to use "sudo", then first switch 
to the root/administrator, and then install, like this:

su
make install

In case you don't have root access for installation, you can follow the 
instructions here:

https://www.gnu.org/software/gnuastro/manual/html_node/Installation-directory.html

I don't understand what you mean by "code::blocks13.12". But to use GSL you 
need basic knowledge of the C/C++ compiling process. Here is a link fully 
describing the fundamentals:

https://www.gnu.org/software/gnuastro/manual/html_node/Review-of-library-fundamentals.html

There are fully working example codes scattered in the GSL manual. You can 
find/see them for a starting example usage.

I hope this helps,
Cheers,
Mohammad
