Re: Problems with gsl-0.6-0.i386.rpm
Found the problem -- the gsl.spec file was pointing to an old
directory for the libs and getting the wrong files. I have uploaded
some new rpms to the sourceware ftp site.
I made the rpms on a debian system. Maybe that creates some shared
library issues. This was the 'Requires' line,
Requires: ld-linux.so.2 libc.so.6 libm.so.6 /bin/sh
Index: gsl.spec
