$ make check

works fine on CentOS 7

$ make dvi

does not work because I don't have texi2dvi. Probably expected.

I also ran our test suite for a package that links in GSL and with 
2.1.91 I get some errors. Looks like functionality related to either svd 
or the matrix struct has changed. I'll try to boil down the problem and 
come back, but if you have any idea of things that have changed, that 
would be very useful. Thanks.

Cheers,
Peter
