In fact, if you are using yum to update one of the major rpm-based distros, you can almost certainly do a "yum install gsl\*" and get it. If you can't do this right out of the box, there are lots of yum-ready sites and mirrors that have it. Duke among others -- look on mirror.dulug.duke.edu or install.dulug.duke.edu, for example (has high-level centos and FC mirrors) rgb -- Robert G.
