[Help-gsl] Re: GSL configure problem

[Paul Jackson]

I fixed the problem.  I downloaded 1.12 and did a from the cygwin window did a 
gunzip, tar -xvf and then a ./configure and a make, and everthing seems to be 
working.  Somehow the 1.11 file must have got corrupted, I think it was because 
I did the gnzip and tar extraction outside of cygwin.

I’m trying to compile gsl 1.11, and get the error shown below when trying to 
compile using cygwin (v1.7) on a windows XP machine (Compaq PC).
