I suggest retrying the download of 1.16 then as your earlier one
seemed to be corrupted (or else you somehow misissued the commands)

You can download-and-unpack into the current directory in one step with
    curl ftp://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/gsl/gsl-1.16.tar.gz | tar xzv
on the command line provided curl is installed.
