Thank you for your reply. I don't understand what the ellipses are for.
I suppose I'm supposed to add additional arguments? I'll see if I can
find this information in the documentation, though.

Okay, I'll try that. I looked in the GSL "help" mailing list archives,
too, and saw that people were being referred to this list. The gsl
configuration script rings a bell, though.

No, the system I'm working on uses Suse Linux.

I can probably find a copy of the macro somewhere and try it.
However, I would still be interested to know if there's a way of passing
specific options to the C or C++ compiler when `configure' runs its
tests without having to go deeply into the guts of Autoconf. I have
looked into it a bit, but it seems like a major undertaking to really
understand how to use it at that level.
Thanks again for your help.
