Ken, you may want to ask the package maintainer about that sort of questions. AFAICS the package works only if GNU Sci Lib is installed as a system library. The configure in the gsl package is just a fake, really, because it tests LIBS but doesn't modify Makevars accordingly, so it's useless (it tests the wrong thing with the wrong compiler). You can as well remove it and edit Makevars to match your configuration (you may have to add PKG_CPPFLAGS as well).
