Re: [Help-gsl] GSL-1.15 installation issue on OSX 10.7.3

[José Luis García Pallero]

Hello:

Sorry for the top posting but I'm answering directly from the mailing
list and I can not add the pevious mails in the thread with the
context marks >>, so I've copied and pasted below the last post

>From macports you can install the last 1.15 release, but the question
is: has passed the macports gsl package all tests?

On the other hand in the output from svd test can be seen that the
error occurs due to in SVD decomposition the maximun iteration number
was reached. This maximun is fixed in line 147 of svd.c as 100*N. I
don't know in detail the algorithm but I don't know the reason for
this 100*N. Can check someone if the test is passed in mac os x if the
limit is set, for example,  to 200*N?
In svd.c says that the file was written by Gerard Jungman and Brian
Gough. Maybe some of them could examine the problem

Cheers

Hi,

If you just want a copy of GSL installed and don't mind about it being
too up to date, you could try MacPorts.  Initial install from here:

  http://www.macports.org/

and then type

  sudo port install gsl-devel

I can't help with building it from source, sorry!  I'd be tempted to
suggest that it's your C compiler's optimiser breaking something, but
that's very wild speculation.
