This is not a problem on Linuces - and appears often when using an
environment prefix:
$ MYPATH=/staff/fred/
$ echo $MYPATH/mytext
$ /staff/fred//mytext
what is very common in makefiles.

strange to call a /star binary from the root directory, never heard of
"star" at all. Maybe an empty environment variable that should prefix the
path? like your source directory ?? this "star" is maybe the "install"
exe. - I don't know why it used this "/star" statement... check the INSTALL
Makefile variable... it should be =/usr/bin/install or something close to
that...

Why not using debian packages? this is a strength of that distribution, and
GSL is well maintained (available on almost all platforms, and AFAIK always
well packaged!).
