After a successfull executing the comands :

 cvs -d :pserver:anoncvs@sources.redhat.com:/cvs/gsl login
     (password is ``anoncvs'')
 cvs -d :pserver:anoncvs@sources.redhat.com:/cvs/gsl checkout gsl

and

./autogen.sh


and ./configure I'm getting an error running make:

cd . \
  && makeinfo    \  
        `echo gsl-ref.texi | sed 's,.*/,,'`
/bin/sh: makeinfo: command not found.

make[2]: *** [gsl-ref.info] Error 127

But if I run make on a normal gsl-version (from ftp) I do not get such a 
problem.

Does anybody know the solution?

I'm using Suse Linux 8.0

Thanx for any help

Install makeinfo, which is part of texinfo.

This is correct.  

Perhaps aclocal has not been run before creating the configure script.
The necessary commands would be,

aclocal
automake
autoconf
./configure 
make dist

If these don't work and it looks like the problem is specific to gsl
please send a complete tar file which reproduces the problem -- it
wasn't possible to tell from the single file where the problem
is. Thanks.

Hi!

I finally have debugged multidimensional minimalization
algorithm I copied from Brent's book.

Now I would like to start adjusting it to GSL CVS version.

However I encountered the following problem:

 cvs -d :pserver:anoncvs@sources.redhat.com:/cvs/gsl login
Logging in to :pserver:anoncvs@sources.redhat.com:2401/cvs/gsl
CVS password: 
cvs login: authorization failed: server sources.redhat.com rejected access 
to /cvs/gsl for user anoncvs

Could somebody tell me what is going on?

How shall I proceed to ensure that the procedure is GSL compatible
and can be included in future GSL release ?

Best Regards,

Jacek Pliszka
