Hi, I am trying to download and install gsl manually on my redhat machine. I followed the following steps: 1. go to: http://www.gnu.org/prep/ftp.html 2. click on an ftp link close to your location 3. find the gsl/ directory and click on it 4. find the gsl-VERSION.tar.gz file, where version is 1.14 or greater. Click on that file to download it. 5. In a terminal window extract the tar.gz file using tar -xzf gsl-VERSION.tar.gz and then cd to the ./gsl-VERSION directory 6. Look at the INSTALL file. It will probably tell you to run ./configure, then make, and then make install (and you might have to login as the superuser (sudo)
When I try step 5, I get an error - Gzip: stdin : unexpected end of file tar : Child returned status 1 tar: Error exit delayed from previous errors. Could you please tell me how can I correct the error and if there is any command to automatically install gsl-1.16 on RedHat? Thanks, Neha
