Guido Gay reported the same problem in this thread:
http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/pspp-dev/2009-09/msg00008.html

He posted his config.log, at:
http://www.nabble.com/file/p25378290/config.log

I didn't look at it until now.  Now that I do, it looks like GSL
wasn't installed properly or at least it wasn't getting linked
against properly, and that made for some contradictory test
results, in that almost every attempt to try to run a test
program during configure failed with "error while loading shared
libraries: libgsl.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such
file or directory " or similar errors.

Can you check your config.log for something like that?
