[Help-gsl] Unable to install latest version of GSL on linux
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

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. Sounds like your download is corrupted. 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? Does 'sudo yum install gsl-devel' work for you? - Rhys

Hi, If I run that command, it installs the gsl-1.13. I want to install gsl-1.16.

If I run that command, it installs the gsl-1.13. I want to install gsl-1.16. 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. - Rhys
