I've made second version to fix some of the errors reported (memory leak in
tests and jacobi svd) You can test it here:

Hello,
'./configure && make && make check' works on AMD64 with gcc 3.3.3.
On dual alpha with gcc 2.96 it works with CFLAGS=-O1.
No change to the previous release here.
Regards,
Kevin

make and make check worked (again) on RHEL 3
and i noticed that the documentation errors
have been fixed, and that binomial has been
updated. thanks (again!) for all your efforts.

succesful build and check on a Fedora Core 4 system:
gcc version 4.0.1 20050727 (Red Hat 4.0.1-5)
glibc-2.3.5
Checked with CFLAGS=-O2 and CFLAGS=-O3. No problems.

Builds OK for DJGPP (v2.04 beta, 2,03 not tested, gcc-4.0.1, WinXP Pro+SP2).
Also all tests passes if the following small EXEEXT related patch is applied
(it was for 1.6, but it applies also to 1.6.92):

This is a really bad name for a unix prgram. For, on my machine
which test
returns
/usr/bin/test
-------------
I once had a second line manager who wanted to show off his programming
abilities. He wrote a demo program, and he went to show it off. And,
in front of 50 people, it didn't work. We all craned over the monitor
trying to figure out what was wrong (for it looked spotless). Until
some wizened soul in the back of the crowd cleared his throat and
asked: "What did you NAME your program?" "I named it 'test'. Why
do you want to know?"

How else would you run a program called "test" in the current directory?

This is a *very bad idea*. It leaves you open to typo trojans: say you're
in the /tmp directory on a multi-user box. You accidently type "sl"
instead of "ls". You now run /tmp/sl, which could have been installed by
anybody. You lose. "." should *never* appear on your $PATH.

I would not disagree too loudly on aesthetic grounds, but automake is
smart enough to preface the check_PROGRAMS with a ./ (or at least
enough of the directory tree) so there is no real problem in calling
it test, true or even false (if you wanted to be _really_ nasty to the
next generation of developers).
All in all the naming is not really a worry. I'm surprised about the
ordering of TESTS and check_PROGRAMS though...
Cheers,
S.

One for the Automake maintainers I think -- I've cc'ed this to
bug-automake@gnu.org.
The "make check" messages are from automake (maybe "All tests passed
(1/1)" would do the job).

all worked perfectly without any problem on Mandrake 10.2

Strange that re-running the tests works -- if the file permissions are
wrong I wouldn't expect them to change.

Some of us don't have modern computers :-(
Also it just seems better style (to me) to keep things modular.

Ok, I'm still trying to reproduce this. I downloaded Slackware 10.1
and installed it on a spare partition. The versions of gcc and glibc
were 3.3.4 and 2.3.4 and they passed make check. How exactly did you
put your system together?

gcc version 3.3.3 (SuSE Linux)
on SUSE Enterprise Linux 9 (glibc 2.3.3) for Itanium is OK (no failures).
the Intel compiler is another matter. If it works, the code performs much better on Itanium, but I need to
specifically sort out which routines to compile with low optimization. Is there any further interest in icc
from the side of the GSL developers?
Best regards

Can you confirm the version of glibc, the current glibc series is 2.x
Thanks.

Brian,
It built just fine in a Debian unstable chroot -- the resulting Debian
packages have been uploaded to Debian and reports of builds on the 11
non-i?86 platforms should trickle in over the next few days and will become
visible at http://buildd.debian.org/build.php?&pkg=gsl

Running make check I noticed that the script frequently was interrupted by
permission problems:
make[2]: Entering directory `/c/tmp/gsl-1.6.91/histogram'
/bin/sh: ./test.exe: Permission denied
FAIL: test.exe
Re-running make check allowed me to complete the sequence without incident.
This looks like a problem with MSYS - but I wanted to report it here in case
others run into it.
==================
All 1 tests passed
==================
make[2]: Leaving directory `/c/tmp/gsl-1.6.91'
make[1]: Leaving directory `/c/tmp/gsl-1.6.91'
I am running MSYS/MINGW:
Thread model: win32
gcc version 3.2.3 (mingw special 20030504-1).
On a side note, I am curious why we don't include a single "gsl.h"
that includes all the gsl headers - with the expection of gsl_cblas.h
(because it's exceptionally large)? Most modern computers can handle
the large
number of files in a trivial amount of time?

Make check gives me a lot of errors...
Let me know if I should paste more.
Cheers.

saw one typo in your list of changes:
** Fixed the branch selection in gsl_sf_gamma_inc_Q_e to prevent

"prevent caused" -> "prevent"
===
By the way, I think there is an error in the documentation (code looks
okay) regarding Gaussian Tail Distribution, section 19.3.
Formula for p(x) should have an extra factor of 1/sqrt(2*pi*sigma^2).
Also, the figure for p(x) is incorrectly normalized -- you can
tell it is incorrect because the area under the curve should be one,
but is obviously much less than that. It looks like that curve
was generated with a p(x) that *did* have the 1/sqrt(2*pi*sigma^2)
but did *not* have the 1/N(a;sigma) -- that is, it looks like the
tail of the gaussian in the Figure before it in section 19.2, without
any renormalization.
(An example of a correct picture of a tail distribution is in 19.10,
for the Rayleigh tail distribution.)
===
More on documentation, Chapter 7 introduces the Pochhammer symbol
(a)_x with the function gsl_sf_poch. Four functions later, in
gsl_sf_pochrel, a new notation is introduced (a,x). If you want to
include (a,x) as an alternative notation, that could be done with
the gsl_sf_poch function; simpler would be to drop it entirely, and
say for gsl_sf_pochrel, ie:
These routines compute the relative Pochhammer symbol @math{((a,x) -
1)/x} where @math{(a,x) = (a)_x := \Gamma(a + x)/\Gamma(a)}.
->
These routines compute the relative Pochhammer symbol @math{((a)_x -
1)/x} where @math{(a)_x := \Gamma(a + x)/\Gamma(a)}.
===
The documentation in section 7.19 for gsl_sf_beta_inc does not define
B_x(a,b), which is
B_x(a,b) = \int_0^x t^{a-1} (1-t)^{b-1} dt
===
On a more general note, I'd recommend changing the title of Section
7.19 from "Gamma Function" to "Gamma and Beta Functions".
And this is more for the ToDo list, but we could use the introduction
to this section to talk about factorials, combinations, binomial
coefficients, use of tables for integer values, etc.
As a quickfix, we might just remark on the identity \Gamma(n)=(n-1)!
for integer n>0. I don't think this is in that section at all.

jt

I'm preparing release (it will be 1.7) -- I'd appreciate feedback
on this test version:
http://www.network-theory.co.uk/download/gsl/gsl-1.6.91.tar.gz
http://www.network-theory.co.uk/download/gsl/gsl-1.6.91.tar.gz.sig
If there are no problems reported then I will release it. Thanks.

Here are the changes:
** Switched gsl_randist_binomial to use the faster binomial random
variate TPE algorithm by default. The previous binomial variate
algorithm is available as gsl_randist_binomial_knuth. This will
result in a different sequence of binomial variates in programs using
this function.
** Improved the algorithm for gsl_sf_elljac_e to avoid cancellation
errors near quarter periods.
** Fixed the branch selection in gsl_sf_gamma_inc_Q_e to prevent
caused inaccurate results for large a,x where x~=~a.
** The multilinear fitting functions now have forms which accept a
user-specified tolerance for the SVD cutoff and return the
corresponding effective rank of the design matrix.
** The quadratic solvers in poly/ now handle linear equations
gracefully (i.e. quadratrics with a leading coefficient of zero).
** The output of "make check" now only shows test failures by default,
to reduce the amount of output. Set the environment variable
GSL_TEST_VERBOSE=1 to display all the output. To assist debugging,
the test number of each failure is shown in square brackets at the
line-end [NNNN].
** Fixed bugs in gsl_linalg_SV_decomp_jacobi which caused
incorrect results for some input matrices.
** Bessl, coulomb, dilogarithm and legendre_H3d functions now use
hypot internally to avoid overflow when computing terms like
sqrt(1+x*x).
** The 'Usage' chapter of the reference manual now explains how to
handle deprecated functions using the GSL_DISABLE_DEPRECATED macro.
** The conflicting enum definitions for 'forward' and 'backward' in
gsl_ftt.h and gsl_wavelet.h are deprecated. User code should switch
to the new definitions gsl_fft_forward, gsl_fft_backward,
gsl_wavelet_forward and gsl_wavelet_backward. Selectively define
GSL_DISABLE_DEPRECATED before including the headers to use the new
definitions on either or both modules.
** Fixed an error in the the brent minimisation algorithm. Iterations
should now follow Brent's original description correctly.
** The bound coulomb function gsl_sf_hydrogenicR_e no longer reports
an underflow for exact zeroes of the wavefunction.
** gsl_linalg_SV_decomp_jacobi now reports an error for the
unimplemented case M<N correctly.
** Fixed conformance test for the SYRK and HERK blas functions
gsl_blas_{s,d,c,z}syrk and gsl_blas_{c,z}herk for non-square matrices.
** Configure now checks for presence of ieeefp.h if needed.
** Differential equation solvers now propagate error codes returned
from user-defined functions to the top-level in all cases.
** Sort functions now avoid an infinite loop if Nans are present in
the input vector. The order of nans in the output is undefined,
although other elements will be sorted correctly.
