I am pretty new to this. Any help would be appreciated. Thank you so much.
Take care,

Hi Han,
The error:
cannot create directory ‘/usr/local/include/gsl’: Permission denied
indicates you do not have the permission to install gsl in that directory. You
can try the command:
sudo make install
if you have an administrative account. It will ask for your password and then
the install should complete.
Hope this helps,
Eric
