[Help-gsl] monte-test fails in MinGW

[Wolfgang0815]

Hi everyone,

I'm trying to build gsl 1.8 in MinGW. Everything goes OK until I do "make 
check". The test in the directory "gsl-1.8/monte" fails.

Here is a detailed report of what happens:

* Started with: German Win2kSP4
  (never touched by MinGW & Co before)
* Execute MinGW-5.0.3.exe, which installs previously
  downloaded files to "C:\MinGW":
    * binutils-2.15.91-20040904-1.tar.gz
    * gcc-ada-3.4.2-20040916-1.tar.gz
    * gcc-core-3.4.2-20040916-1.tar.gz
    * gcc-g++-3.4.2-20040916-1.tar.gz
    * gcc-g77-3.4.2-20040916-1.tar.gz
    * gcc-java-3.4.2-20040916-1.tar.gz
    * gcc-objc-3.4.2-20040916-1.tar.gz
    * mingw32-make-3.80.0-3.tar.gz
    * mingw-runtime-3.10.tar.gz
    * w32api-3.7.tar.gz
* Execute MSys-1.0.10.exe, which installs itself into
  "C:\msys\1.0". After that, "post install":
    * "Do you have MinGW installed?" -> "y"
    * "Where is your MinGW installation?" -> "C:/MinGW"
    * "You do not have C:/MinGW/bin/make.exe.
       Keep it that way."
* Start MSYS
* Execute "tar xzvf gsl-1.8.tar.gz"
* Execute "cd gsl-1.8"
* Execute "./configure  --prefix=/mingw  --disable-shared"
* Execute "make"

Everything is alright up to this point. Then I
* Execute "make check"
which results in (only the last few lines)

----------------------------------------------------------------

I also tried it without the "shared-disabled" option (in fact I tried this 
first), which gave the same error message.

Does anyone know if this is a serious problem (i.e. the gsl I built isn't 
useable), or if it's just a bug in the test suite?

Thanks for your help in advance,
sorry for my crappy english.
