I have an old version of GSL from 2001 installed on my Linux computer, and I
need to upgrade to the latest version. How might I go about that, making
sure that the old files are replaced with the new completely? Thanks.

Well there may be a better way to do this but I would suggest remove the
old version and then installing a new version from scratch.
How you do this depends on how you installed it.
If you used a package management system (like rpm) remove it with that
tool and then install the new version.
If you compiled from source you can try:
$ make uninstall
to remove the package and then install again. You can then poke around
in /usr/local (which is the default install location) to assure yourself
of the removal of all the files.
I hope that helps,
Grant.
