GNU Scientific Library

GNU Scientific Library (GSL) is a numerical library for C and C++ programmers.[1]

Installed Versions

Default Red Hat-provided Version

Red Hat Enterprise Linux comes with GSL 1.13. It can be used without any additional configuration.

Locally-Compiled Version

A locally-compiled version 2.2.1 is also available. Use the modulefile:

gsl/gcc/2.2.1

To use this version, rpath[2][3] will need to be used to override the default Red Hat-provided version.
